Cafe Linen In Summerstown On The Morning Round

Yes — Summerstown sits on the SW17 round, 7 days, 10.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Wimbledon Park, Colliers Wood and Tooting — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Tooting Broadway, Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

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 Summerstown 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.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SW17 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.
• 131 restaurants around SW17 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the SW17 round is sequenced by opening time. 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 Summerstown.
• Timed around Tooting Broadway 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.

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 — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
• 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 — a Summerstown cafe buying aprons three times a year is paying for a bad cycle, not for wear.

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 — you are never between suppliers.

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

• Small sites go on the same SW17 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 54 cafes around SW17 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 Summerstown 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 Summerstown, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.
