Cafe Linen In Margate Collected To Schedule

Yes — Margate sits on the CT9 round, 7 days, 72.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Westgate on Sea, Thanet and Broadstairs — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Margate — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same CT9 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 59 restaurants around CT9 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Yes — the CT9 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 Margate.
• Timed around Margate so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• 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. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
• 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 — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.

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 — the two overlap by design.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in CT9 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same CT9 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Margate.
• 57 cafes around CT9 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Margate and a busy July are the same account.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Margate accounts run half and half.

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• Wash-only — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hire what nobody sees, keep your own name on what the customer does.

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 — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Margate cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.
