Chef Whites In Wotton On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Wotton sits on the RH5 round, 7 days, 24.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Westcott, Abinger and Abinger Common — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 24.3 miles buys you.
• 2 kitchens around RH5 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 — and their own temperature.
• 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 — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Wotton before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• 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.

Yes — catering kitchens are a large part of what we collect.

• School and care home kitchens run on the same rounds — there is no separate catering service to sign up to.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.
• 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.

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

• Every section is sized at setup — including the sections that get through two a shift.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Wotton 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 — and again after your first busy season, which is where opening figures usually fail.

That is the point of putting Wotton on the RH5 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• 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 — 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 — rather than locking you into a summer volume you do not use in February.
• 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 — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• 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 — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.
