Cafe Linen In Honor Oak Park On The Morning Round

Yes — Honor Oak Park sits on the SE23 round, 7 days, 12.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Crofton Park, Forest Hill and Brockley — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Catford, Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park — 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, which is what 12.8 miles buys you.

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 — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same SE23 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• 31 cafes around SE23 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Honor Oak Park and a busy July are the same account.

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 — 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 — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Honor Oak Park 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 — Honor Oak Park in December is not Honor Oak Park in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SE23 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.
• 17 restaurants around SE23 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Yes — the SE23 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 Honor Oak Park.
• Timed around Catford 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.

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.
