Cafe Linen In Paddock Wood Collected To Schedule

Yes — Paddock Wood sits on the TN12 round, 7 days, 38.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Hadlow, Marden and Tonbridge — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Paddock Wood — 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 Paddock Wood is only 38.9 miles out.

That is the point of putting Paddock Wood on the TN12 round rather than a separate trip. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Paddock Wood and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. 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 — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• 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 — Paddock Wood in February and Paddock Wood in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• 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 — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same TN12 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 5 cafes around TN12 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• 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 — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Paddock Wood 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 — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same TN12 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.
• 1 restaurants around TN12 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.
