Cafe Linen In Brentford Before You Open

Yes — Brentford sits on the TW3 round, 7 days, 6.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Lampton, Hounslow and Hounslow West — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Hounslow West, Hounslow East and Hounslow Central — 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 6.9 miles buys you.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same TW3 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.
• 47 restaurants around TW3 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting Brentford on the TW3 round rather than a separate trip. 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 Hounslow West because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• 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 — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a Brentford 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 — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• 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 Brentford is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same TW3 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 19 cafes around TW3 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Brentford and a busy July are the same account.

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

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
• 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 — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Brentford cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.
