Cafe Linen In Old Malden On The Morning Round

Yes — Old Malden sits on the KT4 round, 7 days, 12.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Worcester Park, Motspur Park and New Malden — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Motspur Park, Malden Manor and Worcester Park — 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, which is what 12.2 miles buys you.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same KT4 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.
• 22 restaurants around KT4 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the KT4 round is sequenced by opening time. 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 Motspur Park and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

It is the wash, not the cloth. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• 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 — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.

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. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same KT4 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 9 cafes around KT4 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 Old Malden accounts run half and half.

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Old Malden, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Old Malden cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.
