Cafe Linen In Kensington Chelsea Before You Open

Yes — Kensington Chelsea sits on the W8 round, 7 days, 5.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Kensington, Notting Hill and Earls Court — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around West Kensington, Notting Hill Gate and Kensington (Olympia) — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because of that distance.

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

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Kensington Chelsea cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Kensington Chelsea in December is not Kensington Chelsea in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same W8 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.
• 220 restaurants around W8 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

That is the point of putting Kensington Chelsea on the W8 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 West Kensington and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

It is the wash, not the cloth. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 — a Kensington Chelsea 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.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in W8 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same W8 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Kensington Chelsea.
• 103 cafes around W8 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 — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• 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.
