Cafe Linen In West Croydon On The Morning Round

Yes — West Croydon sits on the CR0 round, 7 days, 14.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Croydon, Broad Green and Addington — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around West Croydon and East Croydon — 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 West Croydon is only 14.7 miles out.

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

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
• 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 West Croydon 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 — we set them ahead rather than react.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same CR0 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.
• 53 restaurants around CR0 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Yes — the CR0 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 West Croydon.
• Timed around West Croydon 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.

It is the wash, not the cloth. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
• Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — a West Croydon 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 — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a morning in West Croydon with nothing clean.

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

• Small sites go on the same CR0 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 53 cafes around CR0 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.
