Cafe Linen In Ewell On The Morning Round

Yes — Ewell sits on the KT17 round, 7 days, 14.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Epsom, Cheam and Worcester Park — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Stoneleigh, Ewell East and Ewell West — 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, which is what 14.5 miles buys you.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same KT17 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 — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 6 restaurants around KT17 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the KT17 round is sequenced by opening time. 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 Stoneleigh 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. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• 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 — rather than locking you into a winter volume you do not use in August.
• 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 Ewell with nothing clean.

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

• Small sites go on the same KT17 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 6 cafes around KT17 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 Ewell accounts run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• 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 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 Ewell 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.
