Cafe Linen In Wallington On The Morning Round

Yes — Wallington sits on the SM6 round, 7 days, 15.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Carshalton Beeches, Carshalton on the Hill and Hackbridge — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Carshalton Beeches and Wallington — 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.

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 — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a morning in Wallington with nothing clean.

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

• Small sites go on the same SM6 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 21 cafes around SM6 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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 — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Wallington 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 — Wallington in December is not Wallington in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SM6 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.
• 23 restaurants around SM6 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Before you open, because that is how the SM6 round is ordered. 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 Wallington.
• Timed around Carshalton Beeches 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.

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 — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.
