Cafe Linen In Theale Collected To Schedule

Yes — Theale sits on the RG7 round, 7 days, 35.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Calcot, Englefield and Sulhamstead — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Theale — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Theale is only 35.1 miles out.

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 — item for item, never substituted.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hire what nobody sees, keep your own name on what the customer does.

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

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same RG7 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.
• 3 restaurants around RG7 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Yes — the RG7 round is sequenced by opening time. 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 Theale 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. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — the programme is chosen for them, not inherited.
• 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 — 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 — you are never between suppliers.

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

• Small sites go on the same RG7 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 7 cafes around RG7 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.
