Commercial Linen In Tewin On The Morning Round

Yes — Tewin sits on the AL6 round, 7 days, 18.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Welwyn Garden City, Welwyn Village and Hertford — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Tewin is only 18.4 miles out.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. 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 — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a Tewin 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 one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same AL6 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 1 cafes around AL6 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 Tewin and a busy July are the same account.

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

• 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 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 Tewin 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 AL6 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• If the kitchen is the bigger half — see restaurant laundry for how a kitchen-led account is priced.

That is the point of putting Tewin on the AL6 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 Tewin.
• A mid-morning drop missed the shift it was for. We schedule against your opening time, not ours.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
