Cafe Linen In Teddington On The Morning Round

Yes — Teddington sits on the TW11 round, 7 days, 9.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Fulwell, Hampton Hill and Strawberry Hill — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Strawberry Hill, Fulwell and Teddington — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 9.5 miles buys you.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Teddington in February and Teddington in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• 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 — the two overlap by design.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in TW11 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same TW11 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 39 cafes around TW11 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
• 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 window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Teddington 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 TW11 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 — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 25 restaurants around TW11 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting Teddington on the TW11 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 Teddington.
• Timed around Strawberry Hill 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. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• 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 — 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.
