Cafe Linen In Palmers Green On The Morning Round

Yes — Palmers Green sits on the N13 round, 7 days, 8.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Bowes Park, Arnos Grove and Winchmore Hill — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Palmers Green and Bowes Park — 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 Palmers Green is only 8.6 miles out.

That is the point of putting Palmers Green on the N13 round rather than a separate trip. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Palmers Green 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.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

• 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 — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.

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 — 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 Palmers Green with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in N13 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same N13 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 27 cafes around N13 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Palmers Green and a busy July are the same account.

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

• 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 Palmers Green cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Palmers Green in December is not Palmers Green in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same N13 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 — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 30 restaurants around N13 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.
