Cafe Linen In Woodley Collected To Schedule

Yes — Woodley sits on the RG5 round, 7 days, 27.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Sonning, Earley and Winnersh — 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 Woodley is only 27.6 miles out.

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 — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
• Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.

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 — so there is never a morning in Woodley with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same RG5 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 6 cafes around RG5 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.

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 Woodley 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 RG5 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 5 restaurants around RG5 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the RG5 round is sequenced by opening time. 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.
