Chef Whites In Codicote On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Codicote sits on the SG4 round, 7 days, 20.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Knebworth, Whitwell and Welwyn Village — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 20.2 miles buys you.
• 9 kitchens around SG4 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 — 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 — so no Codicote section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hire what nobody reads, keep your own name on the whites.
• 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 — grease lifts at a different temperature from protein, and scorch responds to neither.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• 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. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Codicote before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Codicote kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Codicote kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

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

• 1 school kitchens around SG4 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — the par count moves with the calendar.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across North Hertfordshire, not as separate customers.

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

• 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 — rather than waiting for an order cycle.
• 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.

That is the point of putting Codicote on the SG4 round rather than a separate trip.

• 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, 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 — holidays and sickness are the usual cause of a missed slot elsewhere; here the slot travels with the round sheet.
