He's oversharing too much info with customers. Makes you look weak and vulnerable to robbery, theft, and fraudulent people. Even though being nice keeps down enemys, being too nice and sharing kinda makes you look vulnerable.
So if your making 5k a month that’s about 60k a year… then you gotta pay machine maintenance, utilities, payroll, and misc. They say you gotta spend money to make money but the math doesn’t add up…
Love the videos, it gives a great idea of what these place actually are, instead of pumping sunshine into the air. It's a lot of hard work. With that being said... I don't know if blurring out the door code was very effective... May make sense to change that code.
I know you tried to blur out the passcode but its still pretty easy to solve based on position of the video. I would recommend just cutting that portion out. Although bad people will do bad things not matter what.
Actually, I've been interested in starting a laundry, or soda machine as a side hustle. But, I'm also interested in seeing how owning a car wash works out? Very interesting information.
If its a Hard Mount Commercial Washer that has been well taken care of they can last 20-25 years easily. The older washers have lasted 20-35 years, the newer washers will not last that long in my opinion & I have been in this the Laundromat Business for over 30 years. The older the washer the more utility's it uses. The newer ones are much more efficient but not as heavy duty.
2:00 - I can tell you this -- if I owned a cash based business like a laundromat, there would be a LOT of cash getting skimmed off the top and never reported for taxes!
Could you make a video and give us an idea of what your expenses are like please? I would like to know what your average electric and water bills are. What you spend to keep your vending machines stocked and what you spend on maintenance supplies. Are your dryers gas or electric?

Easy idea to the ppl who have the time or space if you dont get the best income and need a little extra cash just go around getting bottles from trash kinda disuting so take some gloves with you you earn like 40-80 a day if its a really crowded city where there meby have been a party you can earn like 120-300 that day if you have a house with a spare room or an apertment you can rent it out to ppl you will have them pay half so its a win win for you both they will not need to pay as much to get an place to be while you will have less rent to pay and more money to invest also remember not to throw old clothes out try selling them on a market or a thrift shop you can earn some extra cash for new clothes sp that money dosent go to waste if you dont have a vending manchine thats ok just get a table and sit by it selling soda in you can get a 1 and a half liter soda for only 79 cents the prices a really low in the store i live close to try selling it for like 10 dollars i bet somebodys gonna buy it thats ez money And for the love of god dont take long bathes
How does the situation with your employee work? Do they only check into the laundromat a few times a day? Do they work Monday-Friday 9-5pm? How many employees do you have, how many hours do they work and how do you pay them?
