Cafe Linen In Yiewsley On The Morning Round

Yes — Yiewsley sits on the UB7 round, 7 days, 8.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with West Drayton, Cowley and Iver — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around West Drayton — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Yiewsley is only 8.6 miles out.

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 — 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 — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Yiewsley in February and Yiewsley 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 — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in UB7 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same UB7 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 4 cafes around UB7 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.

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

• 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 — branding matters on the apron, rarely on the tea towel behind the counter.

Tell your account manager and a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Yiewsley cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Yiewsley in December is not Yiewsley in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same UB7 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.
• 14 restaurants around UB7 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the UB7 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 West Drayton so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
