Wash and Fold POS Software for Busy Drop-Off Counters

From drop-off to pickup, Smart Laundry Basket tracks every wash & fold order: weigh it, price it by the pound or by the bag, tag it, move it through washing, drying and folding, record its rack, and text the customer when it's ready.

Fewer disputes, more trust

Optional AI garment tracking records a photo-backed count of every item for 1 cent per garment, so customers can see exactly what was washed. When staff find a stain, the customer gets a photo and can approve a treatment charge in one tap.

Frequently asked questions

What is a wash and fold POS?

A wash and fold POS is the point of sale for drop-off laundry, also called a WDF POS. Smart Laundry Basket weighs the order, prices it by the pound or bag, prints a tag, and texts the customer when it is ready.

Can I charge by the pound and by the bag?

Yes. Services can be priced per pound, per bag or per item. If a customer books a per-bag product, staff can record weight without switching the order to per-pound pricing.

Can customers see what was washed?

Yes, with optional AI garment tracking. Each order gets an itemized, photo-backed count, and you control what customers see.

How are customers notified?

By text and email, following each customer's preferences. You can edit the wording of every message.
