This sleek, modern laundromat located in semi-rural New South Wales was fitted out and installed earlier this year. It was a new business venture for this owner, and Aqualogic were delighted to support and manage this project from concept to opening day and beyond. The laundry design and advanced laundry technology, including cashless payment systems, provide their customers with comfort and convenience. What really sets this laundromat apart from its competition is offering additional laundry services and a warm greeting as people enter the premise, making it a customer favourite since its opening.
Laundry Design
Aqualogic worked with the business to create a winning laundry layout for the site. Our design services include a one-on-one session with a Project Manager who will create the layout using CAD design software, with you, ensuring your business has input into the decision-making process. They made recommendations for the fit-out and gave guidance on utilities and legal requirements, including where dryer ducting can be positioned.
Advanced Laundry Technology
Aqualogic recommended commercial washers and dryers in a range of capacities from world-leading commercial laundry brand, IPSO. We recommend a range of machine sizes to suit different customers’ needs, for example, some customers may just want to do a single weekly wash, whereas others may be washing blankets and doonas. IPSO’s range of washers and dryers for laundromat businesses feature advanced technology, including water and energy-saving features, saving your business money on utilities. We recommended hardmount washers, as we always do for laundromats, as these machines are less likely to get out of balance from underloading and are most suited to laundromat setting with all kinds of people using the machines for washing all kinds of items. We supplied 4 IPSO 10kg hardmount washers, 2 IPSO 18kg hardmount washers, 3 IPSO 15kg stack dryers, and 1 IPSO 21kg stack dryer, complete with a cashless payment system.
Cashless Payment Systems
The laundromat’s range of washers and dryers were all installed with a cashless payment system. Cashless payment systems continue to be the preferred choice in “coin” laundries, and that’s because of the many benefits they can provide a laundromat business. Aside from the demand from customers for cashless payment systems, they also provide businesses with a lot more security as well as business insights. Without keeping cash on the premise, it is less likely to be broken into, and also saves operators the hassle of going down to the store to collect the coins and going to the bank to exchange for notes. They attract more customers because using a credit or debit card is a lot easier than trying to find change if your store doesn’t have a change machine. The cashless payment systems are also connected to an easy-to-use app that the business owner can access insights such as when the busy periods are or be able to market directly to your customers.
Pawsitively Unique Services
Located in a semi-rural area, the laundromat saw a fantastic opportunity to cater to pet owners. They decided to offer additional laundry services to meet the needs of this market. Now, pet owners flock to the laundromat to keep their pets’ items clean and fresh. This creative expansion not only brings in more business but has established the laundromat as a go-to place for those in the community with animals, both big and small.
Expert Guidance Every Step of the Way
Behind every successful laundromat, there’s a team of experts who know their stuff. Aqualogic was there for the laundromat from day one, providing invaluable advice and support. We recommended the perfect mix of IPSO washers and dryers, with the capacity and efficiency to meet all customers’ needs.
Summary
Thanks to a winning mix of high-quality machines, varying capacities, a modern fitout, and laundry services that meet the needs of a previously unserved market, this laundromat is riding the waves of success. Aqualogic was thrilled to support such a project and work with this business to turn their laundromat dreams into a reality.
