Cafe Linen In Eton On The Morning Round

Yes — Eton sits on the SL4 round, 7 days, 14.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Windsor, Datchet and Slough — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Windsor and Eton Riverside and Windsor and Eton Central — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Eton is only 14.8 miles out.

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

• Small sites go on the same SL4 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 38 cafes around SL4 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 Eton accounts run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Eton, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Eton cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SL4 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 — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 54 restaurants around SL4 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Before you open, because that is how the SL4 round is ordered. 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 Windsor and Eton Riverside so the van is not arriving into the worst of 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. 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 — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
• 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 — Eton in February and Eton 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 — the two overlap by design.
