The challenge
Growing from 90 to 210 beds meant either hiring a full-time housekeeper for laundry or outsourcing. The founder wanted zero staff overhead and predictable cost.
Our solution
LaundryLite's kg-based hostel tier — pickup daily by 11am, back by 6pm. Free damaged-linen replacement in month one gave the operator confidence to scale.
"Kg-based pricing meant our margin didn't erode when we scaled. It's the boring thing suppliers rarely get right."
Ben Ojo — Founder, Clapham Backpackers
