Chef Whites In Coxheath Collected To Schedule

Yes — Coxheath sits on the ME17 round, 7 days, 40.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Maidstone, Tonbridge and Malling and Bearsted — 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.
• 9 kitchens around ME17 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

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 — 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.

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 Coxheath before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.

Yes. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.

• 3 school kitchens around ME17 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 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.

We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.

• 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 — 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.

Yes — the ME17 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, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — the timing is a property of the account, not of one driver remembering it.

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 — 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 — 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 — the same whites that left Coxheath, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• 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.
