Chef Whites In Whiteley Village On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Whiteley Village sits on the KT12 round, 7 days, 15.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Weybridge, Byfleet and Cobham — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 15.8 miles buys you.
• 6 kitchens around KT12 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Whiteley Village kitchens run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• 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.

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 — 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 — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

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 Whiteley Village before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Whiteley Village kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Whiteley Village kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

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

• 1 school kitchens around KT12 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 5 care home kitchens nearby — where consistency matters more than turnaround speed, and the account is set up for that.
• 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.

We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.

• 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 — so nobody is sorting a mixed box at the start of a shift.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Whiteley Village month rather than a first guess.

That is the point of putting Whiteley Village on the KT12 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• 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 — the timing is a property of the account, not of one driver remembering it.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — there is no cost to finding out.
• 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.
