Cafe Linen In Brockley On The Morning Round

Yes — Brockley sits on the SE4 round, 7 days, 12.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Crofton Park, Nunhead and Ladywell — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Honor Oak Park, New Cross Gate and St Johns — 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, because Brockley is only 12.7 miles out.

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

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.

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 Brockley cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SE4 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.
• 30 restaurants around SE4 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Yes — the SE4 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 Honor Oak Park 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. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a winter volume you do not use in August.
• 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 — the two overlap by design.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in SE4 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same SE4 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 39 cafes around SE4 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Brockley and a busy July are the same account.
