It's NY-only now. They're beta-testing in Boston, Miami, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Free pick-up and delivery, no up-charge, just a $3 tip is auto added. Not even an app, you fill out a form (looks like http://www.typeform.com/), add your payment info and send a text when you need your laundry picked up. Love this concept.

Here's what I always wonder here... Okay, so 3 bucks per user...is that sustainable? Is there really a business model in place? I don't know much about business, but it always seems odd to me that companies like this can charge so little and yet offer so much.

@UXAndrew, founder here! So far it's been sustainable! It's silly how much Dry Cleaning and Laundry there is to go around...there's a cleaner on every corner, and they're all full! But yes...we realize we're relatively low margin, and need to be high volume. That's a big part of the challenge. Things could always change going forward. #2, top priority right… See more

That answers part of it. The immediate model makes sense to me, as does the high volume requirement. The part I am confused about is whether or not ALL your profits come from the 3 bucks per user or if you are taking a cut from the laundry companies for drumming up business. Is the idea basically that it will run itself? Do you have a day job?
