Instruction manual

1

Choose a location that would be suitable for a launderette. The most acceptable option is a sleeping area, in which a complex of student dormitories is located. According to the rules for laundry equipment, it can only be located on the ground floor, in a building connected to the water supply, sewage, electric network and powerful ventilation system.

2

Create a laundry project (can be ordered from a specialized company) and coordinate it with a number of inspection organizations. This stage among businessmen is considered to be the most time-consuming - you will need the approval of the fire inspection, Rospotrebnadzor, the department of architecture and urban planning, environmental organizations and all utility providers. After preliminary approval of the project, you can proceed directly to the equipment of the laundry.

3

Purchase laundry equipment - mainly washing machines. Machines ideally suited for self-service laundries can be ordered only abroad, domestic washing equipment assumes the industrial scale of the laundry and is difficult to “counteract”. The token blocks will need to be mounted in the mechanism of each machine - the device should work only after making a token, which you can buy at the entrance to the laundry room.

4

Hire several shift employees to work in the laundry - their functions will be reduced to selling tokens to visitors. For maintenance of the laundry, full-time employees will not be needed, it will just be necessary to always have a proven plumber and electrician, who, if necessary, will help eliminate the malfunction. Laundry bookkeeping can be carried out by a company providing accounting services; this will be much cheaper than a hired accountant, even working part-time.
