Cafe Linen In Hackney Wick On The Morning Round

Yes — Hackney Wick sits on the E9 round, 7 days, 11.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Old Ford, Stratford and Homerton — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Stratford, Stratford International DLR and Stratford International — 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, because Hackney Wick is only 11.3 miles out.

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 — 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 E9 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 114 cafes around E9 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Hackney Wick, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 Hackney Wick cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Hackney Wick in December is not Hackney Wick in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same E9 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.
• 84 restaurants around E9 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

That is the point of putting Hackney Wick on the E9 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 Stratford 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.

It is the wash, not the cloth. 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.
