Cafe Linen In Highgate Before You Open

Yes — Highgate sits on the N6 round, 7 days, 5.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Archway, Tufnell Park and Gospel Oak — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Archway and Highgate — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because Highgate is only 5.9 miles out.

That is the point of putting Highgate on the N6 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 Archway because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

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 — not as the tail end of a kitchen load.
• Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Highgate in February and Highgate in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• 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 — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in N6 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same N6 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Highgate.
• 47 cafes around N6 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Highgate and a busy July are the same account.

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

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Highgate, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Highgate cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Highgate in December is not Highgate in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same N6 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 34 restaurants around N6 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.
