Commercial WDF & Super Bowl

[Chuckels]

Just as I finished the remodel and started to think about adding WDF a guy pulls up in his SUV and asks if we can help. He manages 15 time-share units that rotate linens, towels, etc all on the same day once a week. We did one load and it came to about 600lbs requiring about 6 hours labor. It was my first experience and I am flying nearly completely blind and am looking for some help.

If you are in San Diego for the Super Bowl or just here otherwise I am offering $400.00 for 6 hours of your time and materials. I want someone to review our operation and advise the best way to go about obtaining and maintaining commercial accounts. We need someone who is cheerfully willing and able to impart their expertise as well as provide samples of modern contracts, receipts, the whole 9 yards in paper work to get us up and going. We do not even have a scale yet and last week we used our home bath scale to ballpark it.

Interested persons may email me drg@n2.net

Kitty,

I should have clarified that my mat is in San Diego near da beach. My future estate is in Beverly Hills.

Also a note to those interested- our area has lots of bars, restaurants, massage studios, nail salons, etc as one may expect to find in a So Cal beach community filled with college kids and beach bums. I am thinking to focus on easy to clean towels and linens and doing the work late at night so as not to disturb the day use customers.

We live in a resort area, we not only have the main resort deep cleaning laundry twice a year, we have many condo contractors that do the laundry themselves in the mat. Its big biz in our area. For the laundry we do, when it comes in, we have an understanding with the resort regarding the turn around. We have accomodated over 3000lbs within several days, as well as satisfying the regular customers. Paperwork is not that difficult, keeping tabs of tickets and the numbers is the most crucial, as well as the trust of the worker. Kirby set me to start a prepay service and it is doing very nicely. Easier to account for. If you can do 600lbs a day, one employee I wouldn't care about the regular customer at least not at our commercial charges. Most of the time the mat is slow m-f when you would entice wdf customers, so unless the mat is really small you shouldn't have a problem.

We used to do Summer Camp Business (towels). We would receive thousands of towels everyday during summer for Wash from two different camps. Part of the agreement was to pickup and drop-off.

We would give attendants 1.5 times pay to wash & dry those towels overnight and had a guy who would drop it off in the morning and pick'em up in the evening for $50.00 a day. It was good money. We did about $27,000 worth of business from these towels over eight weeks in summer and after all the expenses, netted about $17,000.
