Reclaim your most profitable�asset from laundry route operators

Are you tired of outsourcing your laundry room service to laundry route operators? Giving a set of keys to another company like a laundry route could mean you�re missing out on the majority of profit from your most valuable on-site asset.

Laundry route operators are a ubiquitous presence at multi-housing properties. These large, national route�corporations close deals by promising to supply laundry�equipment, maintain it, and make regular collection rounds. You may not realize that the machines in your building�could be�generating�thousands of dollars. Route�deals typically include a revenue split, with a portion going to the property owner and the rest to the laundry route operator. Sounds like a great deal… Or does it?

Rethink your�situation

Well, it certainly depends. What kind of money are we actually talking about here? If the machines are constantly filled to capacity with vending funds, that could translate into a lot of revenue at the end of the month�quite possibly more than the initial investment startup cost, which at first seemed like a no-brainer deal when offered by a�laundry�route company. You have to wonder, if a sizable�cut�of the collections weren’t continually profitable�far beyond what fraction�route corporations�give back to properties�how would a�company be able to offer all this?

And since most�laundry route operators are generally very secretive about the amount of money they collect�from your machines, you�don�t know how much you�re making a week or per month. Not getting�the real figures�could mean you might not ever know if you made the right decision.
