Restaurant Linen In Dover Collected To Schedule

23 restaurants in Dover sit inside the area we already collect from, 75.1 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 23 cafés and 18 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with St Margarets At Cliffe, Hawkinge and Folkestone — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
• 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
• a 75.1-mile round trip is short enough that a missed collection is recovered on the next run, not the next week.

Four different problems, four different answers. Grease needs heat, wine needs speed, wax needs lifting cold — a supplier running everything on one cycle returns you the average of all three.

• Items are sorted before washing, not after. Mixing table linen with kitchen cloths is the single fastest way to grey a white.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage and re-treated before they go back out. Most recover; the ones that do not are replaced from stock rather than returned to you to notice.
• Wax is lifted before wash, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.

Same round, same invoice. Chef jackets, aprons, trousers, oven cloths and kitchen cloths are collected with the table linen — there is no second supplier and no second delivery day to remember.

• Whites come back on hangers, not folded into a bag for someone to iron again before service.
• Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — because sorting a mixed bag at 5pm is nobody's job.
• Sizes are held in stock, so a new starter on Monday is not waiting until the following week for a jacket that fits.

Yes, and it usually costs less. Sites on the same Dover rounds share the journey, which is the whole reason a group rate exists.

• Each site keeps its own par level. A 30-cover bistro and a 200-cover brasserie should not carry the same stock, and averaging them is how one site runs short every weekend.
• Consolidated billing that shows the total and the split, so nobody has to reconcile it by hand.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Before the doors, not during them. The CT16 round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers here.

• Access around Dover Priory is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
• Deliveries land before the doors open, so setup starts with a full cupboard instead of a count of what survived last night.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — the plant is 75.1 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.

Par is set to your busiest service, not your average one. A stock level built around a Tuesday fails on a Saturday, which is the night it matters.

• We count a real week in Dover — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
• Seasonal swing is expected — CT16 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the CT16 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.

• Owned stock stays yours. What you bought, you keep — including the items we would not have chosen.
• Hire covers replacement — which is usually the larger number over a year, because linen wears out in public.
• Most Dover accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

Nothing is too small if you are on the round. Dover already is, so the question is what you use, not how much.

• Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same round — the vehicle does not care what is on the sign outside.
• No tie-in and no volume threshold attached to the quote. The price you agree is the price at any volume.
• Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
• No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.
