It sounds as if it is the customers problem, not your's. You are not in contractual privy with the aggrieved party.
It depends on the facts and circumstances. If for example, you enduced the customer over knowing they were already under contract then yes they might have claims.
I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your objectives in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.
If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.
Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):

Generally speaking, you have done nothing wrong and under no obligation to the other uniform company. However, with that said, unfortunately that company may use legal means to scare you and even sue you for various causes of action such as tortious interference with a contract.
Your best bet is probably to send an attorney letter yourself letting you know that you also have attorneys and that you are on their case and that YOU will have a cause of action against them if they continue to interfere with your business relation with the restaurant.
Hiring my firm to write such a letter on your behalf is rather inexpensive and will put you at ease. Happy to chat offline directly.
