Cafe Linen In Woodlands Before You Open

Yes — Woodlands sits on the TW7 round, 7 days, 6.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Isleworth, Spring Grove and Richmond — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Syon Lane and Isleworth — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 6.3 miles buys you.

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 — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in TW7 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same TW7 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 15 cafes around TW7 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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

• 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 — branding matters on the apron, rarely on the tea towel behind the counter.

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

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Woodlands cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Woodlands in December is not Woodlands in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same TW7 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 22 restaurants around TW7 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting Woodlands on the TW7 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 Syon Lane so the van is not arriving into the worst of 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 — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.
