Cash-Free Laundry: How LaundryCat Puts Payment in Customers' Pockets | Laundroworks

Written by Laundroworks Team | Nov 14, 2025 1:00:00 PM

The way people do laundry is changing. Customers expect mobile tools, quick payments, and real-time updates—just like they get from other everyday services. Laundroworks is meeting that shift with LaundryCat, a customer app that puts payment, cycle tracking, and account management right in the palm of your hand for an easy digital laundromat experience.

Meet LaundryCat, the laundromat customer app that brings cash-free mobile laundry payments, live updates, and easy account tools straight to a phone. If your store only takes coins or cards, this self-service laundry app can help you keep up in today’s digital world.

Lightning-Fast Payment Customer Laundry Technology

Using NFC, LaundryCat processes laundry mobile payment in under a second. No swipes or bills to slow things down.

With LaundryCat, there’s no scanning or typing. Open the app, tap your phone, hit start—done.

No need for new machines—LaundryCat works with your existing Laundroworks hardware.

Customer-Friendly Features That Build Loyalty

LaundryCat isn’t just about fast contactless laundry payment. It’s about giving customers the tools they expect in today’s self-service laundry technology world.

Smart Account Management

The laundromat convenience app lets customers load funds with a debit card or mobile wallet. Cash users can still add money at the VAC kiosk, and the balance updates instantly.

Live Updates

Hanging around while machines run is boring for customers. LaundryCat solves this with push notifications and cycle tracking. Customers can start a load, run errands, and get a notice when it’s finished. They can also see the time left on the machine in the customer laundry app.

Intuitive Design

The app was built for customers of all tech levels. Whether it’s a college student, a busy parent, or a retiree, LaundryCat is easy to navigate. There are no confusing menus or unnecessary steps—just a straightforward laundromat digital experience.

Consistent Simplicity

Because LaundryCat is built by the same team behind Laundroworks kiosks and card readers, the app mirrors the simplicity of the card system.

Business Impact for Operators

While LaundryCat is designed for customers, the real payoff shows up for owners and operators.

  • Tap-to-pay helps owners capture sales that might be lost if a customer doesn’t have cash or a card handy.

  • Modern laundromats win by offering more than low prices. They’re competing on experience. LaundryCat gives you a simple way to stand out.

  • For operators who want to take it further, soon the app can be white-labeled to carry your logo and colors, making your laundromat look like a tech leader in the community. While this is not currently available, we are working on it!

Part of a Complete Technology Ecosystem

LaundryCat doesn’t live in a silo. It’s part of the larger Laundroworks ecosystem that includes:

  • VAC kiosks for cash reloads and card management

  • Touchless card readers for universal compatibility with machines

  • WashLynx: The staff-facing app for attendants and operators

  • LaundroPortal: A cloud-management tool for live reports and remote control

Together, these tools create a connected system where customers, employees, and owners all have the technology they need to make laundry simple, secure, and profitable.

Pricing Built for Laundromat Owners

The customer app is only $75 a month when added to your Laundroworks plan. That price covers tap-to-pay, account tools, alerts, and kiosk connection.

Why LaundryCat is Essential for Modern Laundromats

Times are changing. Laundry users want speed and digital convenience. LaundryCat helps your store meet those needs and compete.

With fast NFC payments, live cycle tracking, and easy account tools, LaundryCat makes laundry simple and cash-free. Happy customers mean more loyalty, more sales, and steady growth for operators.
