Self-service laundry is a new format of consumer services for Russia, therefore, when organizing such an establishment, you need to be ready to additionally invest in its promotion. In order to form a corresponding habit among the surrounding population, it will be necessary to convince them of the convenience and benefits of using a mini-laundry.
It is necessary
- - a premise on the ground floor in a densely populated residential area of the city;
- -the project of the laundry, agreed with a number of permitting organizations;
- - a set of equipment for washing;
- - a set of token blocks installed in the washing equipment;
- -Multiple shift employees selling tokens.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a location that would be suitable for a launderette. The most acceptable option is a residential area where a complex of student dormitories is located. According to the existing rules for laundry equipment, it can only be located on the first floor, in a building connected to a water supply, sewerage, electrical network and a powerful ventilation system.
Step 2
Create a laundry project (can be ordered from a specialized company) and coordinate it with a number of testing organizations. This stage is considered to be the most time-consuming among entrepreneurs - you will need approval from the fire inspectorate, Rospotrebnadzor, the department of architecture and urban planning, environmental organizations and all utility providers. After preliminary approval of the project, you can proceed directly to the equipment of the laundry.
Step 3
Purchase laundry equipment - mainly washing machines. Machines ideally suited for self-service laundries can only be ordered abroad, domestic equipment for washing presupposes an industrial scale of the laundry and is hardly "tagged". Token blocks will need to be installed in the mechanism of each machine - the device should work only after inserting a token, which can be bought at the entrance to the laundry.
Step 4
Hire several shift workers to work in the laundry - their functions will be reduced to selling tokens to visitors. For maintenance of the laundry, full-time employees will not be needed, you just need to always have a trusted plumber and electrician on hand, who, if necessary, will help eliminate the malfunction. Laundry bookkeeping can be carried out by an accounting provider at a significantly lower cost than a hired accountant, even a part-time accountant.
