Customer Introduction

Robert runs a self-service laundromat in Austin, Texas. His business is steady but profits are low. He wanted to add something new. Something that does not take much space, does not need workers, but brings in extra money. One day, he saw a video on YouTube about a Dog Wash Station Outdoor.

The video said you put the machine outside your store, customers wash their own dogs, and the owner just collects the money. Robert liked the idea. He searched online and found Foodline’s website. The website clearly said: factory direct, shipping to the US available. He contacted Leon. Leon replied quickly and gave a fair price. Robert decided to buy two units.

low operating cost: One wash uses 2-3 kWh of electricity and 40-60 liters of water.

Flexible pricing: Robert changes prices from the backend. $18 in busy season, $12 in slow season.

Brings more customers: Many people wash their dogs before or after doing laundry. Robert’s laundry income went up by 20%.

24/7 operation: The laundromat closes at 10pm. But the pet wash machines work all night. Robert often sees transactions at 3am when he comes in the morning.

Easy to copy: Robert is already planning to put two more units at his second laundromat.

Product FAQ for US Customers

Can the machine work in the US? Is the voltage correct?

The machine runs on 220V. Most US homes have 110V, but laundromats, garages, and warehouses often have 220V outlets (like for dryers).

Will the machine freeze in winter?

The machine has a heater and keeps water at 39-41°C. If you put it outside and temperatures drop below 0°C, we suggest adding insulation around the water pipe.

Does it need a drain connection?

The machine has a drain hose. You can connect it to a floor drain or a sewer pipe.

What cards does the card reader accept?

It accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Why Did Robert Choose Foodline?

Robert compared two US local suppliers and one other Chinese factory. He chose Foodline for simple reasons:

  • Half the price – US local machines cost $12,000 to $15,000 each. Foodline’s price was $5,088.
  • Good quality – 304 stainless steel, 1.5mm thick, CE certified. Robert said the machines felt very solid.
  • Easy communication – Leon knows the US market. He replies fast and helped Robert solve payment and voltage questions.
  • Ships to the US – The factory has export experience. They helped with sea freight, customs, and local delivery.
  • Reliable after-sales – Robert said, “When I have a problem, they really help. They do not disappear after the sale.”
