Night delivery

Produce on the bench before service. Every night.

Night delivery puts produce on the bench before service. Produce Network runs contracted 02:00 to 06:00 windows, GPS-tracked, with photo proof of delivery and a written late-delivery penalty, six nights a week across London. Each account sets safe night access — a key, a code, or a named member of staff — and every drop is signed, cold-logged and photographed at the door.

Order cut-off 23:00

The window

A contracted window, set per site.

Every drop runs to a contracted 02:00–06:00 window, set per site, six nights a week. The window is agreed at account setup and held — produce is on the bench before the kitchen arrives, not racing the first orders of service.

  • Per-site window

    A 02:00 to 06:00 slot agreed per site at setup, so each kitchen knows when the drop lands.

  • Six nights a week

    Tuesday to Sunday, the same window each night, run to the same standard.

  • Before service

    On the bench before the kitchen arrives — the cut-off is 23:00, picked overnight, delivered by 06:00.

The SLA

GPS, photo proof of delivery, written penalty.

Every drop is GPS-tracked and signed at the door, with a photo taken on delivery and the temperature logged. If a drop misses the contracted window, a written late-delivery penalty applies — the SLA is on paper, not a promise.

  • GPS-tracked

    Each van is GPS-tracked against its route, so the drop is timed against the contracted window.

  • Photo proof of delivery

    A signature and a photo at the door record what arrived and when, against the order.

  • Written late-delivery penalty

    If a drop misses the window, the penalty is written into the SLA — the agreement, not an apology.

Access

Safe night access, set per account.

Each account sets safe night access — a key, a code, or a named member of staff — agreed at setup and honoured every night. The driver follows the access rule on the record, so a 03:00 drop never depends on someone being awake to answer the door.

Cold chain

The cold chain, on the record.

Temperatures are logged and a photo is taken at the door, so the cold chain is on the record from the market to the bench. The proof is in the box — what arrived, at what temperature, signed for, against the order.

Night delivery runs across central London, including produce delivery in Soho and produce delivery in Mayfair.
