Chef Whites In Beedon Collected To Schedule

Yes — Beedon sits on the RG20 round, 7 days, 44.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Peasemore, Chieveley and West Ilsley — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 44.4 miles buys you.
• 2 kitchens around RG20 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

In person, section by section — not off a headcount.

• Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• A drop in the middle of prep is a drop nobody can receive. The round is sequenced around that.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — holidays and sickness are the usual cause of a missed slot elsewhere; here the slot travels with the round sheet.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Beedon, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — the embroidery matters on the jacket, rarely on the oven cloth.
• You can move a line between the two later — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.

Always. Kitchen work never follows table linen through the machine.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — one cycle cannot serve all three, which is why a general programme leaves all three behind.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Beedon before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — a Beedon kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.

Yes — catering kitchens are a large part of what we collect.

• 1 school kitchens around RG20 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — the par count moves with the calendar.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.
