Laundry room staffing

No matter the kind of business you are running, laundry room staffing is of the utmost importance.

When it comes to staff members you are competing with the fast food and retail industries. Those can be giants, so look into what you can offer that they don’t. Try to give your staff as many benefits as it makes sense to your business. Also emphasize the fact that working at a laundry room is a lot less hectic than their other options.

When it comes to laundromats, only about 50 percent have employees as it is possible to operate with very few hires or not at all.

If you are planning to run your business with as little help as possible you might be tempted to find a “do-it-all”. An attendant who also does deliveries and repairs to your equipment.

We strongly advise you don’t fall for that. Giving proper maintenance to your machines is very important and so you should have a designated staff member for that. If you can’t find one, or can’t afford to hire at the moment we recommend you look into our service plans.

If you decide to look into laundry room staffing, remember that you are competing with the fast food and retail industries. Those can be giants, so look into what you can offer that they don’t.

Shops are usually family run businesses and/or have a small but tight team of employees. This is not the usual case in other industries so that advantage of that.

It also helps to maintain a modern, clean store. A positive environment will attract better candidates by itself.
