Kitchen Linen In Ravenscourt Park Back Before Prep

Yes — Ravenscourt Park sits on the W6 round, 7 days, 5.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Hammersmith Fulham, Hammersmith and Castelnau — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Barons Court, Ravenscourt Park and Hammersmith (Circle and Hammersmith & City lines) — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because of that distance.
• 386 kitchens around W6 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

That is the point of putting Ravenscourt Park on the W6 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Barons Court so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• 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 — Ravenscourt Park in August and Ravenscourt Park 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 — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Ravenscourt Park kitchens run half and half.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• You can move a line between the two later — without reopening the account or renegotiating anything.

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 — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Ravenscourt 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 — a Ravenscourt Park 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.

• 34 school kitchens around W6 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• 17 care home kitchens nearby — sites that need an audit trail get colour-coded cloths and named whites as standard.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Hammersmith and Fulham, not as separate customers.

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

• 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 Ravenscourt Park month rather than a first guess.
