Cafe Linen In East Dulwich On The Morning Round

Yes — East Dulwich sits on the SE22 round, 7 days, 11.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Peckham, Nunhead and Dulwich — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around North Dulwich, Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye — which matters more at seven in the morning than it does at eleven.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SE22 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.
• 73 restaurants around SE22 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the SE22 round is sequenced by opening time. 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 East Dulwich.
• Timed around North Dulwich 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 — 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 — a East Dulwich 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 — East Dulwich in February and East Dulwich 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 — so there is never a morning in East Dulwich with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in SE22 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same SE22 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 59 cafes around SE22 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• 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 — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most East Dulwich 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.
