Fold POS is the operating system for a laundromat or dry cleaner — order intake and payments, a live workflow board, equipment and inventory management, marketing, and pickup & delivery, all in one place.

## 01 — The counter

**Ring up any service the way your shop actually prices it.** Switch between wash-and-fold, dry cleaning, and alterations without leaving the screen. Price by the pound with a minimum, by the bag, or by the individual item — set an express rate and a discount once, and Fold POS applies them everywhere they belong. Look up a returning customer or add a new one without losing the order you're building.

- Per-pound, per-bag, and per-item pricing in the same order
- Express service and discounts applied automatically
- Customer search and quick-add, mid-order
- Cash, card, or pay-on-delivery, on every order
- Custom items for one-off requests

## 02 — The workflow board

**Every order has a home, every stage has a count.** Orders move left to right across the exact stages your shop uses — to-do, washing, drying, ironing, folding, completed — with a live count on every column. Open a stage to assign a washer, dryer, or staff member, and watch the progress bar move as the load runs.

- Six-stage board that matches how your shop actually runs
- Assign a machine or staff member in one tap
- Live progress bars tied to real load and shift time
- Express orders flagged and easy to spot at a glance
- Search and filter by order ID or customer

## 03 — The ticket

**Nothing about an order gets lost between hands.** Every order carries its own record: an itemized breakdown of tasks and pricing, the customer's contact and intake details, and a place for photos and notes. Flag a broken zipper or a stain before you clean it, so whoever hands the order back knows exactly what happened to it — and what it cost.

- Itemized task and pricing breakdown per order
- Photos and notes attached directly to the ticket
- Full customer contact, intake time, and staff on file
- Move an order to its next phase from the same screen
- Edit or cancel an order without starting over

## 04 — Machine management

**Know exactly what's going on with every machine you own.** Every washer, dryer, and press has its own record — what was fixed, which parts were replaced, and who worked on it. Fold POS tracks usage and flags a machine for service before it breaks down mid-load, and you can schedule a technician without leaving the POS.

- Full repair history per machine — what was fixed, which parts, and who did the work
- Schedule a technician directly from the POS
- Preventive maintenance reminders based on real usage
- Downtime tracking so you know what a repair actually cost you

## 05 — Your floor, mapped

**A live map of every machine on your floor.** Set up Fold POS once with your actual machine brands, sizes, and layout, and it becomes a live map of your floor — not a generic equipment list. See how many turns each machine ran today, and when your own staff use a machine for a wash-and-fold order, everyone at the counter can see whose order is running and how much time is left on the cycle.

- Floor plan built from your real machine brands and sizes
- Turns per machine, per day — see which machines earn their keep
- Live cycle countdowns, visible to every staff member
- See whose order is running in which washer or dryer, at a glance

## 06 — Supplies & inventory

**Know what's running low before it runs out.** Track the detergent, poly bags, hangers, and press pads that keep your operation running, right alongside the vending and retail products self-serve customers buy off your shelves. Fold POS learns your average usage against current workload — not a fixed reorder point — and tells you what to reorder, and how much, before you're caught short.

- Live vending and retail inventory for self-serve laundromats
- Usage tracking for the operational supplies orders consume
- AI-driven reorder suggestions and quantities, based on historic use and current workload
- Low-stock alerts before you're down to your last bag — or your last vending box

## 07 — Marketing

**Reach customers before they think to call you.** Build an SMS or email campaign in minutes — a seasonal promo, a nudge to customers who haven't ordered in a while, or a same-night alert when your delivery driver's already in their neighborhood. Fold POS segments your customer list automatically, so the message only goes to the people it's actually relevant to.

- SMS and email campaigns from the customer list you already have
- Templates for promos, reminders, and win-backs
- Location-aware blasts — "we're picking up in your neighborhood tonight"
- Delivery and reply tracking on every campaign

## 08 — Pickup & delivery

**End-to-end delivery, without a separate app.** Build a route, assign a driver, and let Fold POS handle the rest — customers get automatic texts as their order is picked up, cleaned, and on its way back, and your driver gets a stop list instead of a stack of sticky notes.

- Route building and driver assignment from the POS
- Automatic customer texts for pickup, ready, and out-for-delivery
- Live stop list and status for every driver on the road
- Proof of delivery and order status tied back to the same ticket

## 09 — Staff & shifts

**A clean handoff, every time the shift changes.** Staff clock in and out from the same screen they ring up orders on. See revenue, order volume, and service mix for the shift in progress, and leave a clear activity trail for whoever opens next — so the morning shift isn't guessing what happened overnight.

- Clock-in and clock-out tied to each staff member
- Live revenue and order volume for the current shift
- Service mix breakdown — wash & fold, dry cleaning, alterations
- Shift notes and activity history for a clean handoff

## And everything around it

- **Payments built in** — take cash, card, or pay-on-delivery, and get paid out without wiring up a separate processor.
- **Customer accounts** — every customer's order history, contact info, and preferences saved and searchable right at the counter.
- **Reporting that's actually readable** — revenue, order volume, and service mix by day, week, or location — no spreadsheet exports required.
