Cafe Linen In Hurst Green On The Morning Round

Yes — Hurst Green sits on the RH8 round, 7 days, 24.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Oxted, Limpsfield and Godstone — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Hurst Green and Oxted — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Hurst Green is only 24.9 miles out.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in RH8 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same RH8 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 5 cafes around RH8 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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 — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.

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 Hurst Green 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 — Hurst Green in December is not Hurst Green in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same RH8 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 10 restaurants around RH8 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the RH8 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 Hurst Green.
• Timed around Hurst Green because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• 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 — Hurst Green in February and Hurst Green 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 — so there is never a morning in Hurst Green with nothing clean.
