Cafe Linen In Rainham On The Morning Round

Yes — Rainham sits on the RM13 round, 7 days, 20.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Wennington, Elm Park and Dagenham — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Rainham — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Rainham 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.

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 — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Rainham cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same RM13 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 5 restaurants around RM13 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the RM13 round is sequenced by opening time. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Rainham 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.

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 — 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 — Rainham in February and Rainham 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 — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. A single-site independent cafe in Rainham is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same RM13 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 12 cafes around RM13 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.
