Cafe Linen In Hanwell Before You Open

Yes — Hanwell sits on the W7 round, 7 days, 4.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with West Ealing, Acton and Southall — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around West Ealing, Hanwell and Castle Bar Park — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 4.1 miles buys you.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same W7 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.
• 27 restaurants around W7 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

That is the point of putting Hanwell on the W7 round rather than a separate trip. 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 West Ealing so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

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 — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a Hanwell 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 — 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 W7 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 26 cafes around W7 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Hanwell and a busy July are the same account.

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

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hire what nobody sees, keep your own name on what the customer does.

Tell your account manager and a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Hanwell cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Hanwell in December is not Hanwell in February, and the par count should know that.
