Commercial Linen In Codicote On The Morning Round

Yes — Codicote sits on the SG4 round, 7 days, 20.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Knebworth, Whitwell and Welwyn Village — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

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 — 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. Most of what we collect in SG4 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same SG4 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 3 cafes around SG4 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• 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 — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Codicote, 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 — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Codicote 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 SG4 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.
• 2 restaurants around SG4 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Before you open, because that is how the SG4 round is ordered. 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 Codicote.
• A mid-morning drop missed the shift it was for. We schedule against your opening time, not ours.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. 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 — overheating fixes the stain instead of lifting it.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a Codicote cafe buying aprons three times a year is paying for a bad cycle, not for wear.
