2 Z Z Z Z Z z z z z z We re pretty sure our Brilliant is the most thought-through offering out there, but by the time we ve told you every single reason why, you may have nodded off! So this is us being concise about it (for once!): Done it (for 80-odd years) Perfected it (along the way) Doing it with bells on (ask lots of happy chefs and their bosses) It s not the only thing we do (...we haven t mentioned our Brilliant hotel linen for instance, but that will have to wait for another day). You probably ought to know a little more about us and what exactly comes with our Chefswear Service. So here goes...

3 Tough business, laundry! Not for the faint hearted. So a few years ago we hatched a Brilliant plan... Get Together (all the best independent laundries in the UK) Re-model (we re talking complete overhaul) Think of a catchy name (tricky one)?????! Brilliant emerged as a serious contender alongside the big-boys of commercial laundry, having earned our stripes as recognised experts in workwear provision (to mention just one of our specialisms). We work in a unique way that means each of your sites deal with their particular local Brilliant laundry, while all your centralised buyers and finance people deal with our oh so clever team at Brilliant HQ. Living up to our name takes some doing, but who doesn t want to be brilliant at their job!

4 What is a? It s about providing and laundering a range of Chefswear and managing it to maximum effect. We monitor, oversee, identify and report on every aspect of the service you receive from us, tweak stuff, and tell you things you didn t realise were worth knowing. So everyone s happy... Your Chefs (no more disputes over chefswear) Your Managers (liberated from complex contracts) You (chefswear de-mystified and under control) Us (knowing we re doing our best for you, everyday) Our managed chefswear service takes the mystery out of what is often a very complex part of your business. With us, there ll be no nasty surprises, disputes and confrontations over chefswear. It s not so much about simplifying everything (you can t), but being smarter and more transparent about it. We can release you from the chains of your existing contract!

5 What exactly do we offer? Let s cut to the chase. When looking for a good Chefswear service - your chefs want it to be clean, good looking and there when they need it; your managers want it to be hassle-free; your accountants want it at the best price - and you don t want it to become a headache or in any way jeopardise the front line of your business. With all of you in mind, here s a quick check-list of our offer: Cost Control (first and foremost) Bar-Code Tracking (keeping tabs on every garment) Bespoke (something specific you d like from us?) Free Size Exchange (for chefs who come and go) User Guides (to help you get the most from us) Reports (relevant, revealing, and really useful) Reduced whole life costs (being transparent and fair) Fair RV s (minimising unavoidable costs - our specialist subject) Managed Contracts (smart, on the ball management) Pre-Nups (future costs agreed up-front to avoid later fall-out) RV Mitigation (unravelling the detail of your current contract) To give each of these just one solitary brief line is painful for us - there s so much more we need to tell you. We d really love to be interrogated on any/all of the above, and promise not to bore you! R

6 What makes us so special? Blowing our own trumpet doesn t come naturally (it s a tad egotistical). But we re keen for you to appreciate just how qualified we are to take on the considerable challenges of providing a fully rounded Chefswear service. Our credentials cover all the bases: All-singing-all-dancing chefswearservicethis way... Well-Connected (mates with all the best chefswear designers) Kitchen-Savvy (we know how the cookie crumbles) Up to Standard (complying with BSI, ISO, GMP and anyone else out there) Business Know-how (it s all about the bottom line) The thing is, we re not just good at laundering chefswear. We re good at the business and organisational side of things too, because we know that s just as important. We ve worked closely with some of the biggest names to develop a Chefswear service that is completely in tune with the needs of the modern kitchen, its staff and all those keeneyed management people.

Where do we go from here? Like the sound of our Brilliant Managed Chefswear service, but you re stuck in a hard-to-get-out-of contract with your current supplier? Then ask us to take a look.

7 Where do we go from here? Like the sound of our Brilliant Managed Chefswear service, but you re stuck in a hard-to-get-out-of contract with your current supplier? Then ask us to take a look. We ve become experts at unravelling companies from the complexities of such contracts, without getting wallopped by expensive penalty charges. We ll do all the donkey work, but won t then tie you into another disabling contract with us - it s just not the Brilliant way. We re already providing Managed Chefswear services across the UK for restaurant chains, caterers, hotels, conference centres and some rather impressive luxury hotel groups.
