Cafe Linen In Somers Town Before You Open

Yes — Somers Town sits on the NW1 round, 7 days, 7.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with St Pancras, Kings Cross and Bloomsbury — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around King's Cross St Pancras, Camden Town and London St. Pancras International — 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 7.0 miles buys you.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• 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 — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.

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 Somers Town 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 NW1 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 149 restaurants around NW1 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting Somers Town on the NW1 round rather than a separate trip. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — not left to whenever the van happens to reach Somers Town.
• Timed around King's Cross St Pancras and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

It is the wash, not the cloth. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

• 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 — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• 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 — 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 — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in NW1 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same NW1 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 153 cafes around NW1 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Somers Town and a busy July are the same account.
