Cafe Linen In Camden Before You Open

Yes — Camden sits on the NW1 round, 7 days, 6.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Camden Town, Chalk Farm and Primrose Hill — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Camden Town, London St. Pancras International and London Euston — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because Camden is only 6.3 miles out.

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

• Small sites go on the same NW1 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 134 cafes around NW1 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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 — 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 Camden cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Camden in December is not Camden in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same NW1 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.
• 162 restaurants around NW1 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

That is the point of putting Camden on the NW1 round rather than a separate trip. 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.
• Timed around Camden Town 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.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — the programme is chosen for them, not inherited.
• 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 Camden 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 — 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 Camden with nothing clean.
