FAQ

Common questions

What assumptions matter for a Melbourne laundromat?

Machine use, vend prices, nearby apartment density, rent, utilities, maintenance and finance repayments are key.

How do I estimate machine use?

Start with conservative cycles per machine per day, then test upside and downside cases in the free simulation.

Should equipment finance be included?

Yes. Monthly repayments can materially affect payback and cash flow.

Can I use this for another city?

Yes. Start the laundromat simulation and replace the Melbourne assumptions with your own location estimates.
