Wash-and-fold software for lots, weight, and the same counter

A laundry lot is not a garment

Wash-and-fold work arrives as a bag, a weight, or a priced bundle, not as a list of shirts. The customer may also hand over a few pieces for dry cleaning in the same visit. Software that only understands a retail SKU, or only understands a single garment ticket, makes the counter choose which half of the visit to record. EaziTags is built for laundry stores that do wash and fold, wash and iron, or piece laundry, and for combined shops. A laundry lot and a dry-cleaning piece can share one order.

This page is about the lot: how it is priced, how it is tagged, and how it comes back to the same customer record as the pieces. It is still drop-off work. It is not a plant running industrial linen for hotels.

Kilogram, pound, bag, and the price on this order

Services can be priced by piece, kilogram, pound, or bag. A wash-and-fold service is usually the weight or the bag. A wash-and-iron or piece-laundry service may be the piece. The unit is chosen on the service. The amount saved on the order stays on that order, so a later change to the price book does not change what this customer was told at the counter.

Staff still start from the customer. Search by name or phone, or create the customer, then add the lot. If the same person also has jackets, those pieces go on the order too. The visit stays one conversation. The dry-cleaning software page is the piece side of that conversation.

A tag for the lot

Each lot gets its own tag with a QR code, the same way a piece does. The tag can be previewed, printed from the browser, or saved as a PDF. The shop does not need a special label printer. The tag is what processing follows, and what the front desk searches when the customer asks about the bag. Search on the order, the customer, or the tag is the same lookup the piece counter uses.

The lot then moves through the shop sequence. That sequence is configurable. The example is Received, Processing, Quality Check, and Ready, with Cancelled kept separate. A bag has a ready state just as a jacket does. Ready orders wait on the collection queue, whether the contents are folded laundry or hanging garments.

Paying for a bag that is not finished

Wash-and-fold is often paid in part up front and in part on pickup, especially when the weight is confirmed in the back. EaziTags stores a full or partial payment and the remaining balance. The day’s sales and what is still unpaid are both visible. Reports include outstanding balances, so a bag that is ready and a bag that is unpaid are not the same question. The article on unpaid laundry orders is that distinction, written out.

No card gateway is included. The record is the receipt or the invoice and the balance. Email can confirm the order and the ready state. Staff can open WhatsApp with a ready message and a tracking link. The customer opens the tracking page without a login.

The same team, a few locations

Front desk takes the bag in. Processing marks it through the sequence. A driver, if the shop delivers, works from a job list fed by the pickup and delivery fields on the order. Owner and Manager see the reports. More than one location is supported, and one shop does not see another shop’s customers or orders.

The owner registers and names the business in a setup wizard, without a consultant on site. The feature list, the laundry POS page, and the EaziTags case study are the rest of the same product: the counter, the till that knows the order, and the store system Core Bracket ships.

Staff of about 2 to 15 people at a location is the size the product is written for. One shop or a few locations under the same owner can share the roles without sharing customer lists. The browser is the counter PC, a laptop, or a tablet. Nothing in the wash-and-fold flow asks the shop to buy a scale interface, a label printer, or a customer app before the first bag can be tagged and tracked. Weight can be typed as the service quantity. The software does not require a connected scale to accept the bag. The number on the order is what the price uses.
