Cafe Linen In Longford On The Morning Round

Yes — Longford sits on the TW6 round, 7 days, 10.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Harmondsworth, Sipson and Heathrow — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Gates A1-A23, Gates B32-B48 and Gates C52-C66 — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 10.3 miles buys you.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. 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 — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• 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 — 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 — you are never between suppliers.

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

• Small sites go on the same TW6 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 6 cafes around TW6 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• 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.

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 — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Longford cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it on two predictable days, which is a counting problem rather than a volume one.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Longford in December is not Longford in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same TW6 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 — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 6 restaurants around TW6 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Before you open, because that is how the TW6 round is ordered. 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 Gates A1-A23 because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
