A laundry equipment route operator is a company that specialises in providing, managing and maintaining commercial laundry equipment for shared laundry rooms.
There is a broad range of businesses that partner with route operators, including body corporate buildings and accommodation providers.
By outsourcing the management of a laundry room to a route operator, you can avoid the large capital expense of vended commercial laundry equipment. Route operators will also maintain and service the equipment, meaning there is one less thing you need to worry about.
What are the benefits of outsourcing to a laundry equipment route operator?
Vended commercial laundry equipment is expensive buy
Purchasing vended commercial laundry equipment for a shared laundry can cost 10s of thousands of dollars. By outsourcing the management of your laundry to a route operator, you can avoid that huge expense and better use it elsewhere.
When you outsource your laundry equipment management to Nina’s Laundrette, we will work with you to ensure that your laundry has the right laundry equipment for your space and that it’s installed professionally.
Vended commercial laundry equipment will save you in the long run
Outfiting a common laundry area with domestic machines that people can use for free can be very expensive in the long run.
Domestic washing machines and dryers take longer than commercial machines. They also are not designed for heavy use. Because domestic machines can be started for free, they are regularly overused, break down often and drive up utility bills.
Vended commercial equipment addresses both of these issues. They are built for heavy use, and the pay-to-use model means that residents/guests will only use the machines when they need to.
Laundry equipment route operators manage maintenance, servicing and customer service
As well as providing you with vended commercial laundry equipment for free, our agreements also include the maintenance and servicing of the equipment; you won’t need to worry about a thing.
We provide a QR code on every one of our machines so that residents/guests can report any issues directly to us.
Cashless payments for laundry equipment
Technology for vended laundry equipment has come a long way. There is no need for coins anymore as our equipment allows people to pay using their card, phone or even an app.
Cashless payments are a game changer for shared laundries. Cash being stored in the machine can lead to the machines becoming targets for thieves and vandals. Coin jams are also a common maintenance issue.
Both of these issues can be avoided using cashless payments. At the same time, it makes it easier for residents/guests to use the equipment.
How much does it cost?
Nina’s Laundrette can provide laundry equipment for laundry rooms at no cost.
