Cafe Linen In Southborough Collected To Schedule

Yes — Southborough sits on the TN4 round, 7 days, 36.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Hildenborough — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 36.5 miles buys you.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

• 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 — a Southborough cafe buying aprons three times a year is paying for a bad cycle, not for wear.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Southborough in February and Southborough in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a morning in Southborough with nothing clean.

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

• Small sites go on the same TN4 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 9 cafes around TN4 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

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 Southborough, 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 Southborough cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Southborough in December is not Southborough in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same TN4 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.
• 3 restaurants around TN4 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting Southborough on the TN4 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 Southborough.
• 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.
