Cafe Linen In Bassishaw On The Morning Round

Yes — Bassishaw sits on the EC2V round, 7 days, 8.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Coleman Street, Cripplegate and Cheap — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Mansion House, Old Street and Bank — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 8.8 miles buys you.

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

• 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 window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Bassishaw 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.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same EC2V 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 — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 182 restaurants around EC2V are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Yes — the EC2V 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 Mansion House 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 — not as the tail end of a kitchen load.
• 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 Bassishaw 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 — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• 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 EC2V round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Bassishaw.
• 118 cafes around EC2V 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.
