Kitchen Linen In Chislehurst On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Chislehurst sits on the BR7 round, 7 days, 18.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Elmstead, Bickley and New Eltham — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Chislehurst is only 18.6 miles out.
• 38 kitchens around BR7 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a summer volume you do not use in February.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
• 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 — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• 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 — without reopening the account or renegotiating anything.

Yes — kitchen soil is classified separately from front of house.

• 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 — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Chislehurst 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 Chislehurst kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.

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

• 9 school kitchens around BR7 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• 6 care home kitchens nearby — where consistency matters more than turnaround speed, and the account is set up for that.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong, so we do it on site.

• Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Chislehurst change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• 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 BR7 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• A drop in the middle of prep is a drop nobody can receive. The round is sequenced around that.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — so cover weeks do not become the weeks it goes wrong.
