Wash and fold software for gig workers
A wash and fold gig is pickup and delivery run by an independent operator, often beside another job, often without a store. The operator picks up bags, washes and folds them, and delivers them. People also search for fluff and fold side hustle, laundry route, and start a wash and fold business. Smart Laundry Basket is a POS for $0 until that route passes $1,000 of sales in a month, then $49, never more than $149. Customers book on a page with the operator's name. Card payments go to the operator's own Stripe account. There is no contract and no percent of the order. The same account becomes a store counter later.
