Cafe Linen In Holloway Before You Open

Yes — Holloway sits on the N7 round, 7 days, 7.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Highbury, Finsbury Park and Islington — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Arsenal, Finsbury Park and Holloway Road — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 7.3 miles buys you.

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

• Small sites go on the same N7 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Holloway.
• 149 cafes around N7 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. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• 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 morning window here is recoverable the same day.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Holloway cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Holloway in December is not Holloway in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same N7 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 — priced per item on the account you already have.
• 135 restaurants around N7 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Yes — the N7 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 Holloway.
• Timed around Arsenal and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.

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 — overheating fixes the stain instead of lifting it.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a Holloway 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 — 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 — you are never between suppliers.
