Commercial Linen In Arborfield Collected To Schedule

Yes — Arborfield sits on the RG2 round, 7 days, 29.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Barkham, Shinfield and Spencers Wood — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Arborfield is only 29.4 miles out.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same RG2 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• If the kitchen is the bigger half — see restaurant laundry for how a kitchen-led account is priced.

Yes — the RG2 round is sequenced by opening time. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• A mid-morning drop missed the shift it was for. We schedule against your opening time, not ours.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

It is the wash, not the cloth. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — the programme is chosen for them, not inherited.
• Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a winter volume you do not use in August.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a morning in Arborfield with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. A single-site independent cafe in Arborfield is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same RG2 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Arborfield.
• 2 cafes around RG2 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Arborfield and a busy July are the same account.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Arborfield accounts run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Arborfield, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hire what nobody sees, keep your own name on what the customer does.

Tell your account manager and collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Arborfield cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.
