Cafe Linen In Stonebridge Before You Open

Yes — Stonebridge sits on the NW10 round, 7 days, 1.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Tokyngton, Brent Park and Neasden — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Neasden, Harlesden and Stonebridge Park — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because Stonebridge is only 1.5 miles out.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same NW10 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.
• 12 restaurants around NW10 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Before you open, because that is how the NW10 round is ordered. 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 Neasden and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• 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 — so there is never a morning in Stonebridge 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 NW10 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Stonebridge.
• 13 cafes around NW10 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 Stonebridge accounts run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• Plenty of cafes do both — branding matters on the apron, rarely on the tea towel behind the counter.

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 Stonebridge 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.
