Cafe Linen In Belgravia Before You Open

Yes — Belgravia sits on the SW1X round, 7 days, 7.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Victoria, Knightsbridge and Westminster — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Sloane Square, St. James's Park and Pimlico — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 7.2 miles buys you.

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 — the same garments that left Belgravia, 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 a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Belgravia cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SW1X collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 206 restaurants around SW1X are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting Belgravia on the SW1X 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 Belgravia.
• Timed around Sloane Square and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 — 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 — Belgravia in February and Belgravia 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 Belgravia 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 SW1X round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Belgravia.
• 107 cafes around SW1X are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Belgravia and a busy July are the same account.
