Laundry: Loads, Weights and What Each Cycle Returns

A laundry handles other people's property on a deadline, and prices work by weight while paying for it by the cycle. Both of those need a record.

What the app is built around

The customer order and the machine cycle. Items are booked in against a customer with a weight and a due date; cycles are recorded as they run. That gives you both halves of the economics in one place.

What it helps you see

• Revenue per cycle, which is the figure your utility bill should be judged against
• Average load weight, so your per-kilo rate rests on reality
• What is due out today, and what is late
• Uncollected items, which occupy space and were often already paid for
• Bulky items separated from ordinary weight

Where it changes a decision

The uncollected shelf. Every laundry has one, and it is usually larger than the owner thinks. A list of what has been sitting there and for how long turns a growing pile into a short set of phone calls.

What it is not

It does not run your machines or negotiate your water tariff. It tells you whether the rate you quote covers the cycle you run.

Price and fit

Laundry is $20 a month on Knomart, where a merchant pays for the apps they install and nothing more.

It suits a laundry taking in customer items on turnaround, especially one where things occasionally go missing or come back late.

Many laundries pair it with Booking & Deposit at $12 a month where customers pay part up front, or Daily Takings at $6 where the priority is simply closing the day cleanly. Two apps mean two prices added together — there is no bundle to buy into and no tier to reach.
