Cafe Linen In Woodside On The Morning Round

Yes — Woodside sits on the SE25 round, 7 days, 15.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with South Norwood, Selhurst and Addiscombe — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Norwood Junction, Elmers End and Birkbeck — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Woodside is only 15.0 miles out.

No minimum, on any line. A single-site independent cafe in Woodside is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same SE25 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Woodside.
• 12 cafes around SE25 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Woodside 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 — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• Wash-only — the same garments that left Woodside, 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 — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Woodside cafes are not short of linen overall — the weekly total is fine; the weekend distribution is not.
• 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 — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• 2 restaurants around SE25 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.

Yes — the SE25 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 Woodside.
• 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.

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 — too hot sets it into the fibre.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Woodside in February and Woodside in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• 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.
