Cafe Linen In Welling On The Morning Round

Yes — Welling sits on the DA16 round, 7 days, 18.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Falconwood, Blackfen and Barnehurst — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Welling — 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 Welling is only 18.2 miles out.

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 Welling cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Welling in December is not Welling in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same DA16 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 — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 11 restaurants around DA16 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Yes — the DA16 round is sequenced by opening time. 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 Welling 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 — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a Welling 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 — Welling in February and Welling in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• 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 — so there is never a morning in Welling with nothing clean.

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

• Small sites go on the same DA16 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 6 cafes around DA16 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Welling accounts run half and half.

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Welling, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hire what nobody sees, keep your own name on what the customer does.
