Cafe Linen In South Wimbledon On The Morning Round

Yes — South Wimbledon sits on the SW19 round, 7 days, 11.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Merton Park, Colliers Wood and Mitcham — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Wimbledon, Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

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 — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a morning in South Wimbledon with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same SW19 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 45 cafes around SW19 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in South Wimbledon and a busy July are the same account.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of South Wimbledon accounts run half and half.

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• 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 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 South Wimbledon 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 — South Wimbledon in December is not South Wimbledon in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SW19 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 53 restaurants around SW19 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting South Wimbledon on the SW19 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 South Wimbledon.
• Timed around Wimbledon because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

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 — 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.
