Cafe Linen In Brompton Before You Open

Yes — Brompton sits on the SW7 round, 7 days, 6.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with South Kensington, Knightsbridge and Chelsea — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Sloane Square, Knightsbridge and Hyde Park Corner — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because of that distance.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in SW7 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same SW7 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Brompton.
• 107 cafes around SW7 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Brompton and a busy July are the same account.

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

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• 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 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 Brompton 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.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SW7 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.
• 236 restaurants around SW7 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the SW7 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 Sloane Square so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

It is the wash, not the cloth. 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 — 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 — Brompton in February and Brompton 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.
