Guide · Laundromats

Vending machines for laundromats.

Laundromats are one of the strongest categories we operate in. Customers wait 30 to 60 minutes per visit, they're often hungry or thirsty, and a vending machine fits comfortably along an unused wall. Here's how hosting works — and why it pays.

1. Why laundromats earn more

The single biggest driver of vending revenue is dwell time. The longer customers stay, the more likely they buy. Laundromats consistently outperform offices and lobbies because:

  • Average customer stays 30–60 minutes per wash/dry cycle.
  • Repeat weekly customers build buying habits.
  • Captive audience — there's nowhere else to go for a drink or snack.
  • Family visits multiply per-visit purchases.

2. What Spedchka covers

You provide a roughly 3 ft × 3 ft floor space and a wall outlet. We handle:

  • The machine, fully cashless and insured
  • White-glove delivery and installation
  • Restocking, cleaning, and service visits
  • Remote monitoring — most issues fixed within one business day
  • Monthly direct deposit of your share

3. What hosts earn

Spedchka pays hosts 10% of net machine profit, deposited monthly. Net profit means gross sales minus product cost, payment processing fees, and servicing costs. Reporting is real-time so you can verify every dollar.

4. Placement that works in a laundromat

The best spot is usually along a side wall near the folding tables, in clear view of customers waiting for their cycles. We do a free site walk-through to confirm placement, power access, and the right machine size.

Frequently asked questions

How much can a laundromat earn from a vending machine?

Earnings vary with foot traffic and dwell time, but laundromats typically rank among our top-earning host categories because customers wait 30–60 minutes on each visit. Spedchka hosts receive 10% of net machine profit monthly.

Do I need to do anything once it's installed?

No. Spedchka owns and services the machine. We restock, clean, repair, and insure it. You provide the floor space and an outlet.

How much floor space does it need?

Roughly 3 ft × 3 ft of flat, hard floor near a standard 110V outlet. Most laundromats easily accommodate one machine without losing washer or dryer capacity.

Is it cashless?

Yes — tap, chip, swipe, and mobile wallets. No coins to manage. This pairs well with cashless laundry systems.
