Kitchen Linen In Woking On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Woking sits on the GU22 round, 7 days, 20.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Maybury, Horsell and Old Woking — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Woking — 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, because of that distance.
• 88 kitchens around GU22 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

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 — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
• 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 — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Woking before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

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

• 12 school kitchens around GU22 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 5 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Woking, not as separate customers.

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 — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — and again after your first busy season, which is where opening figures usually fail.

Yes — the GU22 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Woking 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 — 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 — 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 — so no Woking 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 — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• 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 — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.
