Cafe Linen In Sittingbourne Collected To Schedule

Yes — Sittingbourne sits on the ME10 round, 7 days, 46.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Swale, Iwade and Teynham — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Sittingbourne Viaduct and Sittingbourne — 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 Sittingbourne is only 46.7 miles out.

That is the point of putting Sittingbourne on the ME10 round rather than a separate trip. 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 Sittingbourne Viaduct and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

It is the wash, not the cloth. 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 — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Sittingbourne in February and Sittingbourne in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
• 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 ME10 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same ME10 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Sittingbourne.
• 13 cafes around ME10 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Sittingbourne and a busy July are the same account.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Sittingbourne 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 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 Sittingbourne cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same ME10 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 10 restaurants around ME10 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.
