Cafe Linen In Waddon On The Morning Round

Yes — Waddon sits on the CR0 round, 7 days, 15.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Beddington, Addington and Croydon — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Waddon — 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 Waddon is only 15.2 miles out.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Waddon 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 — 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 Waddon 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 CR0 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 — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 57 restaurants around CR0 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

That is the point of putting Waddon on the CR0 round rather than a separate trip. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Waddon and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. 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 — overheating fixes the stain instead of lifting it.
• 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 — rather than locking you into a winter volume you do not use in August.
• 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 Waddon is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same CR0 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 43 cafes around CR0 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 Waddon and a busy July are the same account.
