Case Study: How a Butler Laundromat Earned $240/Month Without Lifting a Finger
This locally owned laundromat serves students, families, and late‑night customers. Foot traffic is steady, and customers often need cash for machines and vending. Adding a free Archer ATM turned unused floor space into $240–$300 per month in passive income.
The Setup
- Placement: next to the change machine in a well‑lit, camera‑covered zone
- Surcharge: $3.00
- Revenue model: 50% share to host
The Numbers
- Avg transactions/day: 6
- Host revenue: 6 × $3 × 30 × 0.5 = $270/month (higher during SRU move‑in & holidays)
Why It Worked
- Customers already on site needing cash
- Zero friction: free install, no maintenance, Archer loads the cash
- Clear signage at the door and above the machine
