Cafe Linen In Crofton Park On The Morning Round

Yes — Crofton Park sits on the SE4 round, 7 days, 13.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Brockley, Honor Oak Park and Ladywell — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Catford, Honor Oak Park and Ladywell — 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 of that distance.

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

• Small sites go on the same SE4 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 38 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 — 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 — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Crofton Park, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 Crofton Park cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Crofton Park in December is not Crofton Park in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SE4 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 — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 34 restaurants around SE4 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

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 — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Catford 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.

It is the wash, not the cloth. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
• 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 — Crofton Park in February and Crofton Park in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• 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.
