Table Linen In London Colney Collected On Round

3 restaurants in London Colney sit inside the area we already collect from, 11.1 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 6 cafés and 2 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Shenley, Radlett and St Albans — they sit on the same run, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles — and that is what keeps a small account viable here.
• 7 days collections, in a window agreed when the account opens rather than assigned by a routing system on the morning.
• an 11.1-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.

It depends entirely on the mark. Oil, wine and wax behave differently in a wash, and treating them the same is how cloths come back looking tired after a season.

• Items are sorted before washing, not after. Sorting after the wash is too late; the grease has already moved.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage so the decision about whether a cloth is still good enough is ours, not yours at 6pm.
• Wax is lifted before wash, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.

Front of house and back of house, one collection. Whites and cloths travel with the tablecloths, on one docket and one bill.

• 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 St Albans rounds share the journey, which is the whole reason a group rate exists.

• Each site keeps its own par level. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
• 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 AL2 round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers here.

• Deliveries land before the doors open, which is the difference between laying up calmly and laying up at speed.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — the plant is 11.1 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 London Colney — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
• Seasonal swing is expected — AL2 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Both, and most London Colney accounts run both. Hired table linen where volume is high, owned whites where the branding matters.

• Owned stock stays yours. What you bought, you keep — including the items we would not have chosen.
• Hire covers replacement — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
• Most London Colney accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in London Colney is a stop on an existing run, not a trip we have to justify.

• Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same run, and a 24-cover room is priced on what it actually uses.
• 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.
