Cafe Linen In Earlsfield On The Morning Round

Yes — Earlsfield sits on the SW18 round, 7 days, 9.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Wimbledon Park, Southfields and Summerstown — 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 Park, Earlsfield and Southfields — 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, which is what 9.2 miles buys you.

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 — 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 — 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 Earlsfield with nothing clean.

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

• Small sites go on the same SW18 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 40 cafes around SW18 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• 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 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 Earlsfield 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 SW18 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 37 restaurants around SW18 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

That is the point of putting Earlsfield on the SW18 round rather than a separate trip. 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 Park 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.
