In Greenwich the crossing decides the schedule.
Fleetable is a chilled food courier on contract for Greenwich — the town-centre restaurants and hotels, the venues and food units on the peninsula, and the trade sites through Charlton. East of Tower Bridge the river crossings are few, so a round from the north bank is planned around the tunnel rather than the mileage. Priced per mile with every cost shown, a set driver and a backup on the round.
The problem
Two miles away and an hour by road.
Greenwich carries a dense hospitality trade — the town centre and the market, the hotels, and the venues and restaurants on the peninsula — plus the trade and industrial sites running east through Charlton. Its constraint is not the drop, it is the approach. East of Tower Bridge there are very few ways across the river, so a supplier on the north bank can be two miles from a Greenwich kitchen and an hour from it by road when the crossing is slow.
How it works
Proven on one route first
So a refrigerated round is planned to cross once, at the hour the crossing is passable, or to stay south and be served by a route that never crosses at all. Which of those is right is a question about your other sites rather than about Greenwich, and it is settled when the routes are priced. A set driver holds the round, a named backup sits behind them, and the mileage, loading, waiting and return leg are separate lines, so a round that is slow because of a tunnel is not repriced as one that is long.
The peninsula
Venue drops run to a booked window.
The peninsula's arena and event venues work like every other venue: the access window is fixed by the event and the delivery either lands inside it or waits. That is a scheduling constraint rather than a logistics one, and it is planned around in advance rather than negotiated on the day.
The town centre is the opposite problem — narrow, busy with visitors, and best served before the streets fill. So a Greenwich round often has two different clocks in it, and the sequence is built to respect both.
Hotels and banqueting kitchens carry the tightest version of that timing, and it is covered on hotel and banqueting food delivery, where the sitting will not wait.
