Cafe Linen In Walton on Thames On The Morning Round

Yes — Walton on Thames sits on the KT12 round, 7 days, 13.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Shepperton, Hersham and Sunbury on Thames — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Walton-on-Thames — 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 Walton on Thames is only 13.4 miles out.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Walton on Thames accounts run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Walton on Thames, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.

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 Walton on Thames cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same KT12 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.
• 18 restaurants around KT12 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting Walton on Thames on the KT12 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 Walton-on-Thames so the van is not arriving into the worst of 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. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

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

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Walton on Thames in February and Walton on Thames 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 — 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 KT12 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Walton on Thames.
• 15 cafes around KT12 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Walton on Thames and a busy July are the same account.
