Chef Whites In Leckhampstead Collected To Schedule

Yes — Leckhampstead sits on the RG20 round, 7 days, 47.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Chaddleworth, Peasemore and Brightwalton — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 47.5 miles buys you.
• 3 kitchens around RG20 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

Yes — kitchen soil is classified separately from front of house.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
• 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 — through the whole process.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

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

• We count a real week in Leckhampstead before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Leckhampstead kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Leckhampstead 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.

• 1 school kitchens around RG20 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — the par count moves with the calendar.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

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

• Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
• 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 — once we have seen a real Leckhampstead month rather than a first guess.

Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.

• 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.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Leckhampstead in August and Leckhampstead in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• 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 — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Leckhampstead, 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 — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.
