Commercial Linen In Sonning Collected To Schedule

Yes — Sonning sits on the RG4 round, 7 days, 27.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Charvil, Woodley and Twyford — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Sonning is only 27.6 miles out.

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

• Small sites go on the same RG4 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• A dozen aprons and a bundle of tea towels is a real account — not something we surcharge.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Sonning and a busy July are the same account.

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

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Sonning, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Sonning 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 RG4 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 — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 1 restaurants around RG4 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting Sonning on the RG4 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.
• A mid-morning drop missed the shift it was for. We schedule against your opening time, not ours.
• 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 — 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 — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Sonning in February and Sonning 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 — so there is never a morning in Sonning with nothing clean.
