Chef Whites In Loosley Row On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Loosley Row sits on the HP27 round, 7 days, 24.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Lacey Green, Speen and Princes Risborough — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
• 3 kitchens around HP27 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

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 — through the whole process.
• 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. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Loosley Row before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — a two-section Loosley Row kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Loosley Row 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 — catering kitchens are a large part of what we collect.

• 1 school kitchens around HP27 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 — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

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

• 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 — brigades in Loosley Row change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Loosley Row month rather than a first guess.

That is the point of putting Loosley Row on the HP27 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• A drop in the middle of prep is a drop nobody can receive. The round is sequenced around that.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• 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 — Loosley Row in August and Loosley Row in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
• 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. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• 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 — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.
