Cafe Linen In Chessington On The Morning Round

Yes — Chessington sits on the KT1 round, 7 days, 10.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Kingston upon Thames, Kingston and Hampton Wick — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Hampton Wick, Norbiton and Kingston — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Chessington is only 10.3 miles out.

That is the point of putting Chessington on the KT1 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 Chessington.
• Timed around Hampton Wick and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• 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 — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• 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 — so there is never a morning in Chessington with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in KT1 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same KT1 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 55 cafes around KT1 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Chessington 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 — hire what nobody sees, keep your own name on what the customer does.

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 — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Chessington cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it on two predictable days, which is a counting problem rather than a volume one.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same KT1 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 — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 59 restaurants around KT1 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.
