Cafe Linen In Godalming Collected To Schedule

Yes — Godalming sits on the GU7 round, 7 days, 29.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Farncombe, Busbridge and Milford — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Farncombe and Godalming — 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 29.5 miles buys you.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same GU7 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.
• 9 restaurants around GU7 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Yes — the GU7 round is sequenced by opening time. 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 Godalming.
• Timed around Farncombe because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

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 Godalming 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 — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• 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 Godalming with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in GU7 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same GU7 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Godalming.
• 15 cafes around GU7 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Godalming 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 — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
• Plenty of cafes do both — branding matters on the apron, rarely on the tea towel behind the counter.

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 Godalming cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it on two predictable days, which is a counting problem rather than a volume one.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.
