Cafe Linen In Aylesford Collected To Schedule

Yes — Aylesford sits on the ME20 round, 7 days, 37.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Ditton, Snodland and Maidstone — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Aylesford — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 37.6 miles buys you.

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 — the two overlap by design.

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

• Small sites go on the same ME20 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 4 cafes around ME20 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Aylesford and a busy July are the same account.

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

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Aylesford, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.

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 Aylesford 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 — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same ME20 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — one account covers both sides of the counter.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 3 restaurants around ME20 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Before you open, because that is how the ME20 round is ordered. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Aylesford and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

It is the wash, not the cloth. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
• 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 — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.
