Commercial Linen In Shorne Collected To Schedule

1 restaurants in Shorne sit inside the area we already collect from, 32.0 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 1 cafés and 2 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Higham, Gravesham and Gravesend — 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, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
• a 32.0-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.

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. A tablecloth and an oven cloth never share a load — that is how cloths come back grey.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage and re-treated before they go back out. Most recover; the ones that do not are replaced from stock rather than returned to you to notice.
• 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, sized and named where you want them named, so they go straight to the changing area rather than onto a pile.
• Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
• Sizes are held in stock, so hiring someone does not mean borrowing a jacket two sizes out.

Yes, and it usually costs less. Sites on the same Gravesham rounds share the journey, which is the whole reason a group rate exists.

• Each site keeps its own par level. A 30-cover bistro and a 200-cover brasserie should not carry the same stock, and averaging them is how one site runs short every weekend.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Outside service, both ways. The DA12 slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.

• 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 32.0 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.

The weekend sets the level. Stock that only just covers midweek runs out exactly when the room is full and nobody has time to notice.

• We count a real week in Shorne — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, and how many cloths a turn actually costs you rather than what the last supplier's sheet said.
• Reviewed after a full month of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
• Seasonal swing is expected — DA12 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Both, and most Shorne 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 Shorne 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 Shorne 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 — a slow month does not move you onto a worse rate.
• 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.
