Cafe Linen In Hampton Wick On The Morning Round

Yes — Hampton Wick sits on the KT1 round, 7 days, 10.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Kingston, Chessington and Kingston upon Thames — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Hampton Wick and Kingston — 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 Hampton Wick is only 10.3 miles out.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in KT1 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same KT1 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 46 cafes around KT1 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• 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 window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Hampton Wick cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Hampton Wick in December is not Hampton Wick in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same KT1 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.
• 53 restaurants around KT1 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

That is the point of putting Hampton Wick on the KT1 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 Hampton Wick and the traffic that comes with it.
• 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. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

• 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 — overheating fixes the stain instead of lifting it.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a Hampton Wick 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 — 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 — you are never between suppliers.
