Kitchen Linen In Tottenham On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Tottenham sits on the N15 round, 7 days, 9.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Seven Sisters, Tottenham Hale and West Green — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Seven Sisters, Bruce Grove and Tottenham Hale — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
• 131 kitchens around N15 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

Yes, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 28 school kitchens around N15 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• 5 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 — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• 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 — 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 — brigades in Tottenham 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 Tottenham month rather than a first guess.

That is the point of putting Tottenham on the N15 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Seven Sisters so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• 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 — Tottenham in August and Tottenham in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Tottenham section starts a shift without whites.
• 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 — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Tottenham, 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 — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Always. Kitchen work never follows table linen through the machine.

• 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 — 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.

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 Tottenham before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Tottenham kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.
