Who comes on Monday
I was a cook for fourteen years.
The last six as chef de cuisine at a restaurant on East Bay. Every Friday somebody ran to the grocery store for the host stand, and every Wednesday those flowers were dead. Nobody owned it, so it was never good.
In 2017 I left the line, bought a used van and talked three restaurants I knew into letting me try. I still work like a cook. Mise en place on Sunday night in the cooler, service on Monday morning, and nothing leaves the van that I wouldn’t put on a plate.
There are four of us now. Josie designs, Marisol and Dee drive, and I still take the peninsula myself.

- 03Every Monday, before you open
New flowers in place, vases washed, water changed, the old ones gone. You walk in to it.
- 04Change it with a text
Skip a week, add a Thursday or pause for August. Tell us by Thursday for the next Monday.

“Our guests ask about the flowers more than the wine list. I’m not sure how I feel about that.”

Questions
Before your first Monday.
We’re closed on Mondays. Does that work?
That’s why we come on Mondays. Most of our restaurants are closed, so we let ourselves in with your code or key, and the flowers are fresh for Tuesday’s first service.
How long do the flowers last?
A full week, because they’re conditioned in our cooler before they ever see your room, and we choose stems that hold. Anything that tires early gets replaced on a call.
Can we skip a week or pause?
Yes. Text us by Thursday to skip the next Monday. Plenty of restaurants pause for two weeks in August, and you only pay for the Mondays we come.
How long do we sign up for?
Start with four Mondays so we can learn your room. After that it rolls week to week, and you can stop with a week’s notice.
Who owns the vases?
We do. We bring them, wash them and take them back. If you have an urn you love, we’ll fill that instead.
How do we pay?
By card every Monday, or one invoice at the end of the month for hotels and offices. The deposit is your first week.
Do you do events too?
For our standing clients, yes: the holiday party, an opening, a private dinner. Quoted separately, with the same people you already know.
