Enter your store square footage, target turns per day, customer demographic profile (single load vs. family vs. WDF), and budget. The configurator returns a complete equipment list with brand, model, capacity, quantity, hookup specs (water/gas/electric), and installed pricing through the AAdvantage dealer network. The recommended mix balances capacity utilization, customer wait times, and capital efficiency.
How the Logic Works
Mix optimization uses queueing theory: each capacity tier is rated for throughput at industry-typical 22-minute wash cycle. The configurator targets a 12% peak-hour wait (industry benchmark for high customer satisfaction without idle equipment). Dryer-to-washer ratio defaults to 1.5:1 (industry standard for coin laundromats with mixed soft-mount and hard-mount machines). All assumptions are editable in Advanced mode.
What You Get
Excel-exportable equipment list with line-item pricing, total installed cost, monthly utility cost projection, expected annual revenue at 80% capacity utilization, and a sensitivity table showing how changes (more 60-lb capacity vs. more 30-lb, soft-mount vs. hard-mount, Speed Queen vs. Dexter) affect cap-ex and ROI. Pricing is live through AAdvantage dealer feeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the configurator free?
Yes — building and exporting the equipment list is free. Live dealer pricing through AAdvantage requires a one-time email submission so the AAdvantage rep can confirm your specs and provide installation logistics for your zip code.
Can I configure for a retool of an existing store?
Yes. Use the Retool ROI Calculator instead — it handles the trade-in/disposal economics and existing-utility-hookup constraints that a new build doesn't have. The Configurator assumes a clean-slate new install.
Why is AAdvantage the only pricing source?
AAdvantage Laundry Systems is the largest multi-state Speed Queen and Dexter distributor. Their pricing is competitive within ±5% of the market and they handle installation, financing, and ongoing parts/service. Other distributors are also competitive — the configurator just standardizes on AAdvantage for consistent live pricing.
