Cafe Linen In Gravesend Collected To Schedule

Yes — Gravesend sits on the DA11 round, 7 days, 29.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Ebbsfleet, Northfleet and Gravesham — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Gravesend — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Gravesend is only 29.2 miles out.

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

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same DA11 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 44 restaurants around DA11 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Before you open, because that is how the DA11 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 Gravesend.
• Timed around Gravesend and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

It is the wash, not the cloth. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — the programme is chosen for them, not inherited.
• 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 — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.

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. A single-site independent cafe in Gravesend is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same DA11 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 31 cafes around DA11 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. Plenty of Gravesend accounts run half and half.

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• 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.
