of information and building stuff to make it all talk to each other was just a bit far, a bit beyond them.

They're not central to what their business was.

And so I realized, oh, that's the business model.

I can just, I can create a point of sale system and package these things together and

So to that point, the point of sale system is a combination of the software and then also literally the actual hardware that we're selling and then also the training of laundry attendants and how to implement this in your store.

So it's the whole system, not just the software that was the solution.

And at that time,

I didn't know how to make software.

The only thing I had written up to that point in time was our company website.

And then also a little thing I made in Visual Basic for creating these bag labels for finished bags of laundry.

That was about the extent of my coding experience.

But it worked well enough.

Well, it's even further than that.

The software we were using at the time was kind of retail-focused point-of-sale software, but it was something that I had found after a journey of spending maybe $12,000 of my dad's money for the business on point-of-sale systems that didn't work out for our business.

So I'd become kind of a self-taught expert of point-of-sale systems for laundromats by that point in time.

The software that we were using, turns out that they actually did operate through a reseller type of network.

And

I put the feelers out there on some online forums for launchment owners saying, hey, I'm thinking about making these point-of-sale systems available.

Am I interested in it?

And I had actually collected payment from the first three customers before I was technically officially a seller of that software, but I knew what the price points were going to be.
