The Laundry Chute (TLC)

Tech powered full service college laundry. The Laundry Chute brings laundry and patented technology together as a full service peer to peer amenity for campuses around the country.

The Laundry Chute (TLC) is a technology-enabled services company that utilizes patented “automated smart lockers” as a pivot point to enable full-service laundry processing with autonomous student laundry drop-off and pick-up. This is driven by a dynamic pricing methodology in which students work for students, on terms determined by supply and demand. TLC has developed proprietary, industry transforming technology, and profits by leveraging a vast, existing infrastructure of underutilized laundry machine equipment located within college and university campuses across the country. This approach to full service laundry (i.e. wash, dry and fold), works alongside traditional "coin-op" self-service laundry offerings. This empowers the TLC model to service both on and off-campus students, while maintaining a healthy balance of student labor supply and student customer demand, effectively doubling the size of the college laundry market being serviced by existing on-campus, coin-operated machines.

TLC has designed, developed and even patented a pioneering approach to laundry service that creates a sustainable ecosystem in which students benefit from the convenience of a smooth-running laundry service that delivers their clothes within 24 hours—on average, only 8 hours (or earlier upon request) —and even offers students employment at competitive wages and with flexible hours and significant growth opportunities. Our innovative peer-to-peer business model and the tech-driven benefits to students and the University community simply cannot be matched. TLC has designed, developed and even patented a pioneering approach to an industry otherwise constrained by transportation costs, travel time, scheduling issues and labor availability. With its innovative peer to peer business model and tech-driven benefits to students and the University community, TLC is the ONLY offering of its kind, nationwide.
