Bubble Washing-Gun Laundry
Laundry picked up at your door, washed, weighed and delivered back, in Cebu City.
An app for a real laundromat in Cebu City. Customers book a pickup, a rider collects the bag, the shop washes, weighs and prices it, and a rider brings it back. One app serves both customers and riders, in English and Cebuano, and the shop runs dispatch, prices and promo codes from a web panel.

The problem
- Busy households in Cebu spend hours taking laundry to the shop and picking it up.
- Laundromats take orders by text and Facebook Messenger, which gets messy at volume.
- Riders, prices and promo codes are tracked on paper or in chat threads.
The product
A booking app and an operations system in one. Customers pick a time slot and an address; the price is estimated, then finalised after weighing. Riders see today's runs in driver mode. The shop's admin panel handles dispatch, slot capacity, delivery zones, prices and promo codes. Payment is cash, GCash or Maya on delivery.
- The customer books a pickup slot and an address in the app.
- A rider collects the bag and marks it picked up.
- The shop washes and weighs; the price is recalculated from the real weight.
- The customer is notified when it is ready, and a rider delivers.
- Admins see every order and rider on a dispatch board.
Who pays and why
Business model
| Revenue line | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wash, dry, fold | ₱80 per load | Clothes up to 10 kg or linens up to 7 kg per load. |
| Delivery fee | By zone | Set per delivery zone in the admin panel. |
| Promo codes | Discounts | Used to win first orders, for example WELCOME20. |
| Business subscription | Planned | Weekly pickups for salons and restaurants. |
The same system can be licensed to other laundromats as white-label software, a second revenue line.
Market and targets
Metro Cebu is dense, young and mobile-first, with GCash and Maya widely used. Pickup laundry is a habit business: a customer who likes the service orders every week. A second market is software: other laundromats need the same booking and dispatch tools.
Targets are planning assumptions.

Channels
| The main channel for local businesses in the Philippines. | |
| Condo and dorm partnerships | Admins share the app with residents. |
| Referrals | Laundry is a word-of-mouth business. |
| Laundromat associations | For the white-label software line. |
Competition
| Alternative today | Why we win |
|---|---|
| Walk-in laundromats | Cheaper but cost the customer time and transport. |
| Delivery apps with laundry | High commissions, and the shop loses the customer relationship. |
| Messenger ordering | Free but chaotic as volume grows. |
