Laundry & garment care
Laundry Business
Washers, dryers and folding labor have separate capacities; customer laundry remains customer property.
Commercial Laundry and Linen Rental
Owned circulating linen is separate from customer-owned linen; model loss, replacement and processing each cycle.
Dry Cleaning
Separate processing capacity from collection capacity; outsourced cleaning is a purchased service.
Alterations and Tailoring
Fittings, sewing and rework require separate time; mobile fitting does not remove workshop requirements.
Shoe and Leather Repair
Job complexity determines labor and turnaround; returned retailer stock remains the retailer's property.
Repairs & keys
Locksmith and Key Cutting
Customer authorization, suitable qualifications and job access must be established before service.
Watch Repair
Repair work and purchased watches refurbished for resale require different inventory treatment.
Phone and Computer Repair
Track diagnosis, parts availability and rework; customer data handling is an operating responsibility.
Tool Sharpening
Price by tool type or edge specification; pickup routes still require sharpening capacity.
Furniture Upholstery and Repair
Large furniture needs handling and transport; fabric yield and custom labor vary by item.
