Kitchen Linen In Moor Park Back Before Prep

Yes — Moor Park sits on the HA6 round, 7 days, 7.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Northwood, Croxley Green and Rickmansworth — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Moor Park — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 7.8 miles buys you.
• 13 kitchens around HA6 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

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

• 7 school kitchens around HA6 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.
• 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 — 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 — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

Yes — the HA6 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Moor Park because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.
• 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 — rather than locking you into a summer volume you do not use in February.
• 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. 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 Moor Park, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — one cycle cannot serve all three, which is why a general programme leaves all three behind.
• 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.

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 Moor Park 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 — which is where most estimates fall over; a figure taken in February will not survive August.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.
