Have you ever thought about using tokens instead of coins at your laundromat? If not, there are multiple reasons why this might be beneficial for your business. Below, you will find several of the advantages. Do you need coin operated washers and dryers in Raleigh, NC for your laundromat? Call T & L! We'll save you time and money!
- Sometimes, counterfeit coins or coins from other countries may be used in place of standard American coins. Because they are similar in size and shape, some machines might accidentally accept them. This means you are losing out on profit. Eliminating coins and moving to tokens will reduce this issue. Token designs can vary. They can appear to be the size of a nickel or a dime. You may choose a size in between for an even easier way to eliminate bogus coins or false tokens.
- Having a token that is oddly shaped will be a great security measure when it comes to making sure counterfeits won’t be accepted. As we mentioned above, there are various shapes, odd sizes, and different designs that can help eliminate duplication. This will also keep customers from using your tokens at other laundromats.
- Tokens are also great for locations that are frequently unattended. Because laundromats can often run themselves, there may not be employees on the premises early in the morning or at night. In some cases, this can open the door for theft problems. However, if machines are only full of tokens, thieves will not be as likely to target your location.
- Token values are fixed. Depending on what you plan to charge per wash or dry cycle, will help you make the decision on what to value one token at. Common values are $.50 per token. Some laundromats choose to have tokens for washers and tokens for dryers. This will help eliminate confusion with different pricing for wash and dry cycles. As we mentioned in a previous blog post, some vended coin laundry machines work on different cycles and money amounts. Dryers tend to take more coins or tokens than washers do, depending on how long you need to dry your clothing.
