Cafe Linen In Bickley On The Morning Round

Yes — Bickley sits on the BR1 round, 7 days, 18.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Elmstead, Bromley and Bromley Common — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Chislehurst and Bickley — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Bickley is only 18.0 miles out.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a morning in Bickley 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 BR1 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 10 cafes around BR1 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.

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

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Bickley, 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 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 — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Bickley cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Bickley in December is not Bickley in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same BR1 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 — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 15 restaurants around BR1 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Before you open, because that is how the BR1 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 Chislehurst 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. 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 — 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.
