01 / LOCATION
Before choosing machines, consider the people who will use them.
Observe routines, access, parking and existing laundry services at different times. Use those observations to discuss store size, rather than relying on one visit.

02 / OPERATIONS
Opening day is just the beginning.
Decide who cleans, checks machines, handles customers and coordinates maintenance. Set daily routines and reserves before opening. Automated equipment still needs accountable operators.
03 / BUDGET
Plan for the days before the store is busy.
Separate equipment and fit-out from rent, deposits, utilities and working capital. Explore several revenue assumptions in the ROI calculator. Do not build the entire plan around the best case.
