Cafe Linen In Evelyn On The Morning Round

Yes — Evelyn sits on the SE8 round, 7 days, 12.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Surrey Quays, Deptford and Rotherhithe — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Surrey Quays, Deptford and New Cross Gate — 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.

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 — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
• 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 — 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 Evelyn with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in SE8 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same SE8 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Evelyn.
• 67 cafes around SE8 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.

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

• 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 — 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 — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Evelyn cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SE8 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 61 restaurants around SE8 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Yes — the SE8 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 Evelyn.
• Timed around Surrey Quays 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.
