Cafe Linen In Woodford On The Morning Round

Yes — Woodford sits on the IG8 round, 7 days, 14.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Woodford Green, Woodford Bridge and Woodford Wells — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the streets around South Woodford and Woodford — 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, which is what 14.0 miles buys you.

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 — you are never between suppliers.

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

• Small sites go on the same IG8 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 24 cafes around IG8 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 Woodford and a busy July are the same account.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• 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 — 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 Woodford cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — Woodford in December is not Woodford in February, and the par count should know that.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same IG8 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.
• 27 restaurants around IG8 are on this round too — so the food side is not an afterthought here.

Yes — the IG8 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 South Woodford so the van is not arriving into the worst of 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. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• 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 Woodford cafe buying aprons three times a year is paying for a bad cycle, not for wear.
