Cafe Linen In West Kensington Before You Open

Yes — West Kensington sits on the W14 round, 7 days, 5.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Barons Court, Earls Court and Brook Green — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Barons Court, Fulham Broadway and West Kensington — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because of that distance.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same W14 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 161 restaurants around W14 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Yes — the W14 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 Barons Court and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — not as the tail end of a kitchen load.
• 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 — West Kensington in February and West Kensington 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 — so there is never a morning in West Kensington with nothing clean.

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

• Small sites go on the same W14 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into West Kensington.
• 101 cafes around W14 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. 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 — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.

Tell your account manager and a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most West Kensington 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 — we set them ahead rather than react.
