Automat turns any coin-op washer or dryer into a card-payment machine. A QR on the front, Apple Pay and cards on the guest's phone, payouts straight to your bank — and no coin tin to empty.
How it works
Every machine gets a small screen and QR code. Guests scan with their phone — no app, no signup.
Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any card. Pick the cycle, pay the exact price, done in seconds.
Automat triggers the machine remotely and texts the guest when their cycle finishes.
For operators
Built for lodges, backpackers, holiday parks and laundromats that are tired of coin floats, jammed mechs, and "the machine ate my money".
See every washer and dryer — ready, running, or offline — from your phone, anywhere.
Card takings land in your own Stripe account. No cash handling, no bank runs.
Guests report a problem from their phone; you refund in one click from the dashboard.
Free-use codes for housekeeping and comps — tracked separately from paid cycles.
Automat runs the guest laundry at The Crossing Lodge & Backpackers — five machines, card-only, unattended.
