Payment-gated pickup: customers pay before they collect.
Every locker ships with a full 5 year hardware warranty, parts and lock mechanisms covered. Figures reflect operator data as of Q2 2026.
Customers pay before they can collect.
Many systems text the locker code the moment an order is ready, paid or not. Ours enforces payment first: the pickup code only goes out once payment clears.

The customer gets the amount due and a secure pay link. No pickup code is sent yet.
2
Payment clears
The text tells them which locker their order is in, within seconds.

The business model
Wait, how do you make money?
Laundry Wise software has no monthly fee, no tiers and no contract. We sell the lockers. Every card payment already carries a processing fee, and we keep a small, configurable percentage of that fee, split off automatically before settlement. When your tills are quiet, we earn nothing.

See the packWhat are laundry lockers?
A bank of keypad lockers in a lobby. Residents drop laundry in, you collect, clean and return it, they pick up with a one-time code sent by text.
No staff on site, no power, no wiring. The building gets an amenity for free, the operator gets a location without a lease, and the customer gets laundry done without leaving home. It is a physical service in the middle of the AI wave: software got cheap, which is why ours is free, but nobody has automated washing a shirt.
1
Drop off
Customer puts the bag in any open locker, closes the door and scans the QR inside to place the order.
2
Collect and clean
Your driver opens it with their own phone key or card, the order is cleaned at your store or partner plant.
3
Return and pay
Driver returns it to a locker and closes the door. The customer gets their code the moment they pay.
4
Pick up, any hour
A one-time code by text, after they pay. It works once, then expires.

The laundry industry is recession-proof. Lockers are how you enter it.
A $7.2B annual US market (IBISWorld, 2026). The locker model gets you in for $7,075, without buying a laundromat.
Reduce staff costs
Counter staff become optional, not mandatory. Lockers absorb peak drop-off pressure without hiring more attendants; many operators run their stores with significantly reduced front-of-house hours.
Modular and relocatable
Lockers bolt together, expand as you grow, and can be moved between locations. No drilling, no fixed install, no contractor required.
No internet required
Battery-operated locks run offline and take their codes from the software. Fewer points of failure, faster installs, and no Wi-Fi to set up at the lock.
How buying works
Most operators do it in this order. Each step is optional on its own, and nothing locks you in.

Operators, in their own words
"Expanding our dry cleaning and pickup service was a big goal, especially in reaching people in apartments and offices. Laundry lockers seemed like the best way to do that, and the team delivered exactly what we needed. The lockers are durable, easy to manage, and they've helped us offer 24/7 service without hiring more staff."
"I installed the lockers in my laundromat and revenue's increased 3 to 4k per month. Highly recommended."
"My wife and I decided against reinventing the wheel and went with Dan. We saved enough time and money to make it well worth it."

Questions operators actually ask
What is a laundry locker business?
Automated smart lockers give customers 24/7 self-service drop-off and pickup for wash-dry-fold and dry cleaning. Operators either place lockers inside an existing store to extend hours and cut labour, or at apartments, offices, gyms and universities to grow service area without new storefronts.
How much does it cost to start?
A starter 5 locker deployment is $2,963 delivered, a 10 locker setup $5,676 and a 25 locker network $11,065. Delivered means the lockers plus crating, with ocean freight to the continental US included. Add the optional branded setup pack and 10 lockers come to $7,075 all in. No lease and no staff required.
Will my current POS work with the lockers?
Yes. The lockers integrate with CleanCloud, Cents and SMRT. If you would rather not pay for a POS at all, Laundry Wise software runs the lockers, the counter and pickup and delivery with no monthly fee.
Do I need laundry experience?
No. Many successful operators started with none. You manage hardware, software and building partnerships; the cleaning is usually done by a partner laundromat on a revenue share. The sales pack, legal templates and playbook come with the order.
How long is payback?
For a 10 locker deployment, typically 5 to 7 months at moderate usage. Larger deployments pay back faster per locker because freight and setup spread across more doors.
Is the laundry industry recession-proof?
US laundromats were classed as essential during COVID-19, held steady through 2008 and operated through the Great Depression. Demand is counter-cyclical: more renters in downturns means more laundromat customers. Read the evidence.
