POS operations guide
Laundry billing is not just a receipt. A good setup tracks garments from intake to delivery, separates washing, ironing and dry cleaning services, and prevents lost-item disputes.
Create an order at intake, tag garments, record service type and delivery date, collect advance or full payment, update status during processing and close the bill when the customer collects.
Most laundry businesses track service orders rather than product stock. If the shop sells detergents, garment covers or accessories, keep those as stock items and laundry services as non-stock items.
Order numbers, garment tags, due-date lists, status updates, payment balance and delivery reports are more useful than a decorative booking screen.
Review item sales, payment modes, returns, discounts, staff activity and low stock every day before the business opens again.
