Cafe Linen In Dover Collected To Schedule

Yes — Dover sits on the CT16 round, 7 days, 75.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with St Margarets At Cliffe, Hawkinge and Folkestone — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Dover Priory — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 75.1 miles buys you.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Dover in February and Dover in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a morning in Dover with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in CT16 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same CT16 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 23 cafes around CT16 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 Dover and a busy July are the same account.

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

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Dover, 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 — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Dover cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Dover in December is not Dover in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same CT16 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.
• 23 restaurants around CT16 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Before you open, because that is how the CT16 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 Dover Priory so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• 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 — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
• Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.
