Cafe Linen In Ashford Collected To Schedule

Yes — Ashford sits on the TN23 round, 7 days, 57.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Wye, Hamstreet and Charing — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Ashford International — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 57.7 miles buys you.

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

• Small sites go on the same TN23 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 29 cafes around TN23 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
• 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 Ashford cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it on two predictable days, which is a counting problem rather than a volume one.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same TN23 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 26 restaurants around TN23 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Before you open, because that is how the TN23 round is ordered. 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.
• Timed around Ashford International because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. 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 — overheating fixes the stain instead of lifting it.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.

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 — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
