Restaurant Linen In Merton Park Collected On Round

19 restaurants in Merton Park sit inside the area we already collect from, 11.3 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 20 cafés and 7 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Mitcham, Morden and South Wimbledon — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
• 7 days collections, in a window agreed when the account opens rather than assigned by a routing system on the morning.
• an 11.3-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.

Four different problems, four different answers. Grease needs heat, wine needs speed, wax needs lifting cold — a supplier running everything on one cycle returns you the average of all three.

• Items are sorted before washing, not after. Sorting after the wash is too late; the grease has already moved.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage rather than sent back for you to find. Re-treatment first, replacement only if it fails.
• Wax is lifted before wash, not melted through the fabric by a hot cycle, which is what sets it permanently.

Front of house and back of house, one collection. Whites and cloths travel with the tablecloths, on one docket and one bill.

• Whites come back on hangers, not folded into a bag for someone to iron again before service.
• Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
• Sizes are held in stock, so a new starter on Monday is not waiting until the following week for a jacket that fits.

One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Merton are the norm rather than the exception, and the round does not change — only the drop list does.

• Each site keeps its own par level. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Outside service, both ways. The SW19 slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.

• Access around South Wimbledon is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
• Deliveries land before the doors open, which is the difference between laying up calmly and laying up at speed.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — a 11.3-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.

We size the account on your peak. Averaging a quiet Tuesday with a full Saturday produces a number that is wrong on both nights.

• We count a real week in Merton Park — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
• Seasonal swing is expected — SW19 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the SW19 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.

• Owned stock stays yours. We do not buy it off you at a discount to simplify the paperwork.
• Hire covers replacement — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
• Most Merton Park accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in Merton Park is a stop on an existing run, not a trip we have to justify.

• Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants and are priced the same way: on usage, not on category.
• No tie-in and no volume threshold to keep the price you were quoted — the rate does not change if you have a quiet January.
• Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
• No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.
