Cafe Linen In Merton Park On The Morning Round

Yes — Merton Park sits on the SW19 round, 7 days, 11.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Mitcham, Morden and South Wimbledon — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around South Wimbledon, South Merton and Wimbledon Chase — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Merton Park is only 11.3 miles out.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SW19 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.
• 19 restaurants around SW19 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

That is the point of putting Merton Park on the SW19 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 South Wimbledon so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

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 Merton Park 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 — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.

No minimum, on any line. A single-site independent cafe in Merton Park is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same SW19 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Merton Park.
• 20 cafes around SW19 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. Plenty of Merton Park accounts run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Merton Park, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.

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 — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Merton Park 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 — Merton Park in December is not Merton Park in February, and the par count should know that.
