Cafe Linen In Chafford Hundred Collected To Schedule

Yes — Chafford Hundred sits on the RM16 round, 7 days, 25.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Grays, Aveley and South Ockendon — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Chafford Hundred Lakeside — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

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 — 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 Chafford Hundred 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 RM16 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 11 cafes around RM16 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Chafford Hundred, 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 Chafford Hundred cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same RM16 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.
• 24 restaurants around RM16 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

That is the point of putting Chafford Hundred on the RM16 round rather than a separate trip. 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 Chafford Hundred Lakeside because that is where the delay actually happens.
• 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 — 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.
