Cafe Linen In Dagenham On The Morning Round

Yes — Dagenham sits on the RM10 round, 7 days, 19.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Becontree, Barking and Rush Green — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Dagenham East and Dagenham Heathway — 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, which is what 19.0 miles buys you.

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 Dagenham cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Dagenham in December is not Dagenham in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same RM10 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 — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 8 restaurants around RM10 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Yes — the RM10 round is sequenced by opening time. 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 Dagenham East 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.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 — a Dagenham 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 — Dagenham in February and Dagenham 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 — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. A single-site independent cafe in Dagenham is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same RM10 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 12 cafes around RM10 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Dagenham and a busy July are the same account.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• Plenty of cafes do both — branding matters on the apron, rarely on the tea towel behind the counter.
