Cafe Linen In Bread Street On The Morning Round

Yes — Bread Street sits on the EC4M round, 7 days, 8.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Cordwainer, Cheap and Vintry — 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.

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. A single-site independent cafe in Bread Street is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same EC4M round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 122 cafes around EC4M are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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

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

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 Bread Street cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Bread Street in December is not Bread Street in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same EC4M collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 177 restaurants around EC4M are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Before you open, because that is how the EC4M 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 Bread Street.
• Timed around Mansion House so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• 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. 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 — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a Bread Street cafe buying aprons three times a year is paying for a bad cycle, not for wear.
