Cafe Linen In Tulse Hill On The Morning Round

Yes — Tulse Hill sits on the SW2 round, 7 days, 11.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Streatham Hill, Brixton Hill and West Dulwich — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• The driver knows the streets around Streatham Hill, Herne Hill and West Norwood — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

Yes — the SW2 round is sequenced by opening time. 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 Streatham Hill 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.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. 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 — a Tulse Hill 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 — Tulse Hill in February and Tulse Hill in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• 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 — the two overlap by design.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in SW2 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same SW2 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 54 cafes around SW2 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Tulse Hill and a busy July are the same account.

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

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• 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 — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Tulse Hill 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 — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same SW2 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 50 restaurants around SW2 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.
