Cafe Linen In Bexley On The Morning Round

Yes — Bexley sits on the DA6 round, 7 days, 20.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Bexleyheath, Barnehurst and Northumberland Heath — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Barnehurst — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

Before you open, because that is how the DA6 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 Barnehurst and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

It is the wash, not the cloth. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — not as the tail end of a kitchen load.
• Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• 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 — Bexley in February and Bexley in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• 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 Bexley with nothing clean.

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

• Small sites go on the same DA6 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 19 cafes around DA6 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

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

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• 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 a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Bexley cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same DA6 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.
• 36 restaurants around DA6 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.
