Cafe Linen In Charlton On The Morning Round

Yes — Charlton sits on the SE7 round, 7 days, 14.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Silvertown, Woolwich and North Woolwich — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Westcombe Park, Woolwich Dockyard and Charlton — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

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

• Small sites go on the same SE7 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 24 cafes around SE7 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• 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 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 Charlton 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 SE7 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 — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 12 restaurants around SE7 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

That is the point of putting Charlton on the SE7 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 Westcombe 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. 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 — 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 — 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 Charlton with nothing clean.
