How to run your laundry & dry cleaning business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
A laundry's nightmare is the lost shirt. Every item needs to be logged in, tracked and handed back to the right client.
TheCEOApp records each order from receipt to pickup.
From received to ready
Move each order through received, washing, ironing and ready for pickup.
Priced by piece, bag or kilo
Price shirts by the piece, wash and fold by the bag, and express service separately.
Pickup bookings
Clients book a pickup time on your service page.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example services like wash & iron (shirt), dry clean (suit) and duvet wash. Suggestions for a laundry & dry cleaning come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the client on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by piece, bag, load and kg. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the client wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out.
Track each job from start to finish
Every job moves through your own steps (typically 3 hours), with the deposit, costs and profit beside it:
- Received
- Washing
- Ironing
- Ready for pickup

- Appointment bookings: Clients pick a day and time on your service pages; you get the request in the app with their name and phone.
