Kitchen Linen In Faversham Collected To Schedule

Yes — Faversham sits on the ME13 round, 7 days, 53.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Teynham, Whitstable and Sittingbourne — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Faversham — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Faversham is only 53.5 miles out.
• 60 kitchens around ME13 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

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 Faversham section starts a shift without whites.
• 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 — 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.

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 — which is the usual reason jackets go grey.
• 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.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Faversham before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

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

• 7 school kitchens around ME13 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• 2 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• 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 — larder and pastry do not wear through jackets at the same rate, and the count reflects that.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — rather than waiting for an order cycle.
• 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 ME13 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Faversham because that is where the delay actually happens.
• 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 — so cover weeks do not become the weeks it goes wrong.
