Kitchen Linen In Raynes Park On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Raynes Park sits on the SW20 round, 7 days, 10.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Cottenham Park, Copse Hill and Bushy Mead — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Wimbledon Chase and Raynes Park — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 10.8 miles buys you.
• 67 kitchens around SW20 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Raynes Park, 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 — 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 — 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 — 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. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Raynes Park before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• 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 — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.

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

• 21 school kitchens around SW20 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• 8 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 Merton, not as separate customers.

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 — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

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

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Wimbledon Chase because that is where the delay actually happens.
• 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 — 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 — Raynes Park in August and Raynes 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 — so no Raynes Park section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.
