Commercial Linen In Tiptree Collected To Schedule

Yes — Tiptree sits on the CO5 round, 7 days, 47.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Kelvedon, Great Totham and Coggeshall — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Tiptree is only 47.8 miles out.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Tiptree accounts run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• 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 Tiptree 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 — Tiptree in December is not Tiptree in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same CO5 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• If the kitchen is the bigger half — the restaurant page explains pricing by covers rather than by counter.

Before you open, because that is how the CO5 round is ordered. 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 Tiptree.
• 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.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 — a Tiptree 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 — 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 — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• 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 CO5 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same CO5 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 3 cafes around CO5 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.
