Cafe Linen In Wendover On The Morning Round

Yes — Wendover sits on the HP22 round, 7 days, 24.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Weston Turville, Aston Clinton and Kimble — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Wendover — 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, which is what 24.1 miles buys you.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same HP22 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 5 restaurants around HP22 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Before you open, because that is how the HP22 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 Wendover.
• Timed around Wendover 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.

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 — 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 — 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 — Wendover in February and Wendover 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 — the two overlap by design.

No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same HP22 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 5 cafes around HP22 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 Wendover accounts run half and half.

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Wendover, 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 — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Wendover 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 — rather than handled as emergencies.
