Cafe Linen In Surrey Quays On The Morning Round

Yes — Surrey Quays sits on the SE8 round, 7 days, 11.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Rotherhithe, Evelyn and Deptford — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around Rotherhithe, Surrey Quays and Canada Water — 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 11.6 miles buys you.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Surrey Quays in February and Surrey Quays in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• 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 — the two overlap by design.

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

• Small sites go on the same SE8 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 33 cafes around SE8 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — the account flexes rather than holding you to a floor.

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

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Surrey Quays, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 Surrey Quays cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Surrey Quays in December is not Surrey Quays in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SE8 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.
• 32 restaurants around SE8 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

That is the point of putting Surrey Quays on the SE8 round rather than a separate trip. 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 Rotherhithe 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.

It is the wash, not the cloth. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — the programme is chosen for them, not inherited.
• 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 Surrey Quays cafe buying aprons three times a year is paying for a bad cycle, not for wear.
