Cafe Linen In Dollis Hill Before You Open

Yes — Dollis Hill sits on the NW2 round, 7 days, 2.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Neasden, Brent Park and Willesden — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Neasden, Dollis Hill and Brent Cross West — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because Dollis Hill is only 2.0 miles out.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same NW2 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 — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 2 restaurants around NW2 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Before you open, because that is how the NW2 round is ordered. 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 Dollis Hill.
• Timed around Neasden 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. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

• 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 — a Dollis Hill 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 — Dollis Hill in February and Dollis Hill in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.

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

• Small sites go on the same NW2 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 7 cafes around NW2 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

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

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• 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 — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Dollis Hill 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 — Dollis Hill in December is not Dollis Hill in February, and the par count should know that.
