While most laundromat customers are expecting to be met with coin-operated machines when they enter the laundromat, more and more people are carrying less cash. The trend has become to rely on our debit or credit cards to make purchases and technology like Apple Pay and Android Pay are making so more people are using their phones or apps to make purchases. These technologies offer greater convenience for your customers and make it easier for you to track sales, adjust pricing, offer promotions, and track customer loyalty.

However, some customers are quick to balk at technology in the laundromat. Many customers prefer the cash transactions to a more digital approach. Cash payments mean that your profit information is less real time and setting pricing and running promotions can take up your employee's valuable time. Having an ATM in your laundromat in order for people to gain access to cash to complete their transactions can seem like an excellent source of income and provide a convenience for your customers until the machine goes down or the transaction fees increase.
Making the jump to cashless or debit and credit card ready machines will mean some added expense. Many owners find that offering convenient payment options when their competition is sticking to their coin-operated machines sets them apart. Consider your target demographic when it comes to choosing the type of payment system you want for your new machines. College students, busy young professionals, and young families will appreciate the convenience of having a debit or credit card and cashless payment option.
