Oh, yeah.

Hope and a prayer.

No.

So my folks started their first store, Liberty Laundry, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, next to Tulsa in 2005, and then opened up their second store in 2010, and then third store in 2014.

I came on board...

kind of as a full-time manager in 2010, helping grow those stores and help design and build that third location.

But by 2016, wanted to have a business of my own, had been involved in the laundromat industry for some time, knew that there was a need for technology solutions for managing multiple laundromats.

There just wasn't anybody serving that.

And so, yeah, $100 to open up a business checking account is about the only money that we've put into it.

The rest has been self-funded by the business.

Yeah, open up that business account.

So I then go spend the money on filing for an LLC and all that.

So that's it.

So the story actually kind of goes back to 2011 when just shortly after we had opened our second store and going from one location to two, managing multiple locations, realized that there needed to be some systems to help make sure that things were working the way they needed to in the store without me having to be physically present at each location.

And back then, really the only software for point of sale systems for laundry services was just dry cleaning software.

And dry cleaning and laundromats are two separate things.

Kind of similar industry, but they're very different businesses and the processes you need.

For dry cleaning, it's a lot of individual garment tracking and racking systems.

And when they actually process the dry cleaning items, they put...

Everybody, all people stuff together on one machine all at one time, which I think is disgusting, but I'm not involved in dry cleaning, so I can have an opinion about it.
