Cafe Linen In Notting Hill Before You Open

Yes — Notting Hill sits on the W11 round, 7 days, 5.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Kensington Chelsea, Bayswater and Kensington — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around White City, Notting Hill Gate and Wood Lane — 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.

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 — 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 — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Notting Hill in February and Notting Hill 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. A single-site independent cafe in Notting Hill is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same W11 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 130 cafes around W11 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• 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 — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• 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 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 Notting Hill cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same W11 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — one account covers both sides of the counter.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 225 restaurants around W11 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting Notting Hill on the W11 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 White City and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.
