Cafe Linen In Baldock Collected To Schedule

Yes — Baldock sits on the SG7 round, 7 days, 29.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Letchworth, Hitchin and Stevenage — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Baldock — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Baldock is only 29.9 miles out.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Baldock, 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 — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Baldock 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 SG7 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 — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 7 restaurants around SG7 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Yes — the SG7 round is sequenced by opening time. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — not left to whenever the van happens to reach Baldock.
• Timed around Baldock 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. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• 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 — 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 — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same SG7 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Baldock.
• 5 cafes around SG7 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.
