Cafe Linen In Cottenham Park On The Morning Round

Yes — Cottenham Park sits on the SW20 round, 7 days, 10.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Copse Hill, Raynes Park and Bushy Mead — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Wimbledon Chase and Raynes Park — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

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 — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Cottenham Park 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 — Cottenham Park in December is not Cottenham Park in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SW20 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.
• 20 restaurants around SW20 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Before you open, because that is how the SW20 round is ordered. 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 Wimbledon Chase because that is where the delay actually happens.
• 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. 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 — overheating fixes the stain instead of lifting it.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Cottenham Park in February and Cottenham Park 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 — so there is never a morning in Cottenham Park with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. A single-site independent cafe in Cottenham Park is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same SW20 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 14 cafes around SW20 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 Cottenham Park accounts run half and half.

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• 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.
