LAUNDRY PAYMENT SYSTEMS: LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR BEST OPTIONS

As a laundry investor, you got into (or are getting into) the business to make money. While
equipment brand should be your first consideration, it’s also important to choose a mix of
capacities and features that deliver a strong return on investment (ROI) and think about how
you’ll actually receive those earnings.

Today, owners have multiple laundromat payment systems to choose from. From coin
payments to credit or debit cards or mobile apps—how do you know which one is right for you?

Choosing the Right Laundromat Payment System Mix for Your Business

Selecting the right combination of laundry payment systems is an important part of balancing
customer convenience with operational efficiency. Each payment option comes with pros and
cons to consider:

Cash and Coins: Familiar to most customers, but often requiring time-consuming
collection and management, this option is a traditional go-to. But it requires additional
staffing and time to tackle.

Mobile Payment Apps and Cashless Laundry Solutions: Simplify operations and
data collection, by combining everything into one laundromat payment system. Worried
about mastering laundromat software? No need. Most platforms, like many of today’s
mobile apps, are intuitively designed for simple setup and use.

Card-based Payment Systems: Customers load value onto a laundry debit card that
deducts payment for every wash or dry cycle.

Credit Card Readers: Another cashless laundry solution, this option involves bolting
credit card readers onto laundry machines. While convenient for customers, it can add
extra costs for laundromat owners.

H2: Why Go Cashless at Your Laundromat?
A case can certainly be made that the owner who offers multiple payment options is better
positioned for success than one tied solely to coins. In the end, however, owners must balance
their management level with what payment options their market might embrace.
Pairing advanced payment systems with smart washers and dryers creates a seamless
experience. Customers can start machines remotely, track cycle progress and enjoy faster
service—all while you gain valuable usage data.
