Chef Whites In Finchampstead Collected To Schedule

Yes — Finchampstead sits on the RG40 round, 7 days, 28.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Barkham, Crowthorne and Sandhurst — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
• 8 kitchens around RG40 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 Finchampstead 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. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Finchampstead, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Always. Kitchen work never follows table linen through the machine.

• 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 — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.

It is quoted, not tariffed. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Finchampstead 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 — a Finchampstead 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.

• 2 school kitchens around RG40 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• 1 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 — 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.

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

• 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 — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Finchampstead month rather than a first guess.

Yes — the RG40 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 — holidays and sickness are the usual cause of a missed slot elsewhere; here the slot travels with the round sheet.
