Cafe Linen In Headstone Before You Open

Yes — Headstone sits on the HA2 round, 7 days, 3.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with North Harrow, Harrow Weald and Hatch End — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around North Harrow, Harrow & Wealdstone and Headstone Lane — 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 3.8 miles buys you.

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 — item for item, never substituted.
• 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 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 Headstone cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same HA2 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 — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 37 restaurants around HA2 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Before you open, because that is how the HA2 round is ordered. 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 North Harrow 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. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
• 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 Headstone 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 — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a morning in Headstone with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same HA2 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 16 cafes around HA2 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.
