Cafe Linen In Selhurst On The Morning Round

Yes — Selhurst sits on the SE25 round, 7 days, 14.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with South Norwood, Woodside and Thornton Heath — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Norwood Junction, Selhurst and Thornton Heath — 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, which is what 14.4 miles buys you.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in SE25 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same SE25 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 12 cafes around SE25 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Selhurst accounts run half and half.

• 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 — 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 Selhurst 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 SE25 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.
• 7 restaurants around SE25 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Before you open, because that is how the SE25 round is ordered. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Norwood Junction and the traffic that comes with 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. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 — a Selhurst 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 — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• 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 Selhurst with nothing clean.
