Cafe Linen In Royston Collected To Schedule

Yes — Royston sits on the SG8 round, 7 days, 35.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Buntingford, Baldock and Letchworth — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Royston — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Royston is only 35.4 miles out.

That is the point of putting Royston on the SG8 round rather than a separate trip. 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 Royston.
• Timed around Royston because that is where the delay actually happens.
• 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 — 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 — rather than locking you into a winter volume you do not use in August.
• 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 — the two overlap by design.

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

• Small sites go on the same SG8 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 9 cafes around SG8 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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

• 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 — branding matters on the apron, rarely on the tea towel behind the counter.

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 — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Royston 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 SG8 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 — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 10 restaurants around SG8 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.
