What operators are saying

The SOPs alone saved me from hiring mistakes. My attendants now run the store the same way whether I’m there or not.

Multi-store operator (3 locations), Florida

The break-even analyzer showed me I was 1.5 turns away from covering my debt. I raised vend prices and hit break-even in 60 days.

First-year owner, 40-machine store, Georgia

I repriced my WDF using the calculator and added $800/month in revenue in the first 30 days.

Owner of a 2,500 sq ft attended store, Texas

Real feedback from real operators. Names withheld by request.

What this replaces

Doing it yourselfTypical cost
Hiring a consultant to write your SOPs$3,000–$5,000
Trial-and-error WDF pricing (lost margin per year)$2,000–$6,000
Employee turnover from no training system (per hire)$1,500–$3,000
Months of missed commercial account revenue$5,000+
Figuring out your real break-even (bad decisions until you do)Incalculable
Your cost$397

One time. Yours forever.

Built for operators like you

01

New owners (0–12 months in)

You just signed the lease or closed the deal. You need systems before you open — not after you’ve lost $10K figuring it out.

02

Existing owners who are winging it

Your store runs, but it runs differently depending on who’s working. These documents make quality consistent regardless of who shows up.

03

Self-service operators adding WDF

WDF is a margin machine — if you price it right and process it consistently. The WDF Production System and pricing guides give you both.

04

Operators building toward commercial accounts

Commercial laundry fills off-peak machines with recurring revenue. The Commercial Accounts Guide gives you prospecting, pricing math, and pitch scripts.
