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 I was thinking the same thing, not sure what the business model is, really.

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?

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.

@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 now is to make sure we're working with the top 10% of cleaners in each area, with a reliable delivery staff, reasonable prices, and great quality. We're not looking for anyone and everyone. So we're looking to keep the price reasonable for them so they can't balk at the price. Hope that answers somewhat!
