Cafe Linen In Paddington Before You Open

Yes — Paddington sits on the W2 round, 7 days, 5.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Bayswater, Maida Vale and Marylebone — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Baker Street, Paddington and Edgware Road — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 5.6 miles buys you.

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

• Small sites go on the same W2 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Paddington.
• 130 cafes around W2 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Paddington and a busy July are the same account.

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 — the same garments that left Paddington, 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 morning window here is recoverable the same day.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Paddington 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 — we set them ahead rather than react.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same W2 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.
• 203 restaurants around W2 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the W2 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 Baker Street because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• 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 — 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 — 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 — the two overlap by design.
