Chef Whites In Headcorn Collected To Schedule

Yes — Headcorn sits on the TN27 round, 7 days, 47.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Staplehurst, Marden and Lenham — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Headcorn — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 47.8 miles buys you.
• 9 kitchens around TN27 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

In person, section by section — not off a headcount.

• 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 — 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 TN27 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Headcorn and the traffic that comes with it.
• 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.

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 — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Headcorn 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 — 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 — hire what nobody reads, keep your own name on the whites.
• 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 — grease lifts at a different temperature from protein, and scorch responds to neither.
• 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 — 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.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Headcorn before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Headcorn kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• 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, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 1 school kitchens around TN27 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 — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Maidstone, not as separate customers.
