Cafe Linen In Wandsworth On The Morning Round

Yes — Wandsworth sits on the SW18 round, 7 days, 8.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Clapham Junction, Southfields and Earlsfield — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Wandsworth Town and East Putney — 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, because Wandsworth is only 8.2 miles out.

Yes — the SW18 round is sequenced by opening time. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Wandsworth Town 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 — the programme is chosen for them, not inherited.
• 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 — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• 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 Wandsworth is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same SW18 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 46 cafes around SW18 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Wandsworth, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 Wandsworth cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Wandsworth in December is not Wandsworth in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SW18 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 — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 42 restaurants around SW18 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.
