Cafe Linen In Brentwood Collected To Schedule

Yes — Brentwood sits on the CM14 round, 7 days, 25.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Harold Park, Harold Hill and Noak Hill — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Brentwood — 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 of that distance.

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

• 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 — 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 — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Brentwood 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 — Brentwood in December is not Brentwood in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same CM14 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 — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 27 restaurants around CM14 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Before you open, because that is how the CM14 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 Brentwood because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. 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 — a Brentwood cafe buying aprons three times a year is paying for a bad cycle, not for wear.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Brentwood in February and Brentwood in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• 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 — so there is never a morning in Brentwood 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 CM14 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Brentwood.
• 15 cafes around CM14 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Brentwood and a busy July are the same account.
