Chef Whites In Brightwalton Collected To Schedule

Yes — Brightwalton sits on the RG20 round, 7 days, 47.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Chaddleworth, Catmore and Leckhampstead — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
• 1 kitchens around RG20 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

Yes, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 1 school kitchens around RG20 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — a quiet August is expected, not penalised.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

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

• Every section is sized at setup — including the sections that get through two a shift.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Brightwalton change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — so nobody is sorting a mixed box at the start of a shift.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — and again after your first busy season, which is where opening figures usually fail.

Yes — the RG20 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• 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 — there is no cost to finding out.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
• If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.

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

• Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
• 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.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Brightwalton before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — a Brightwalton 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.
