REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter represents the related literature and studies that would provide the background and analysis of the findings of the present investigation. These were taken from internet with local and global authors. It helped the researcher to a clear background of the study.
The Quantum Theory of Laundry Reardon (2000) it has been argued that the act of doing laundry followed the discovery of clothing by only a few weeks. While this fact has been regarded to be fantastically trivial, one cannot ignore the enigmas that the act of doing laundry has created, especially true in the age of high speed washers and dryers. In the early days, the disappearance of articles of clothing could simply be accounted for by saying that the sock was lost in the river. Unfortunately, such excuses can no longer be used today. The availability of high speed automated washers and dryers have provided a number of fundamental questions cannot be answered using the classical laundry theory. As a result, it only deals with the simplest example in which a sock is analyzed in either a washer or dryer. The mathematics involved in the analysis of a sock in both washer and dryer and in transition between the two is left for more advanced laundry courses. Lavandera: The new phase of laundry shop solutions. Third Row, a business solutions company, has launched its pilot product offering and introduces the Lavandera Web app through website. A Philippine registered business entity, Third Row capitalizes on modern technology to develop business solutions. Its aim is to put in place systems that streamline the otherwise un-methodical and oftentimes un-secure processes that business owners and consumers alike have been used to.
Lavandera is a Web app exclusively designed for laundry shops and laundry shops owners, and all who avail themselves of laundry services – singles, couples, families, and businesses (hotels, dormitories, hospitals, salons, catering, etc.). Lavandera.ph provides a basketful of features for laundry shop patrons, whose favored laundry shop – whether a community or dormitory laundry shop, hotel Laundromat, dormitory clothes cleaner – is signed up with the Lavandera system. The laundry shop owners or operators, on the other hand, are provided with tools that allow for methodical day-to-day operations of the shop.
For customers, Lavandera intuitively suggests all the nearest laundry shops in and around the site visitors are via geographic tagging. Lavandera’s backbone is a listing of laundry shops all over the Philippines, addresses and contacts detailed included. The search function comes in handy if and when a particular laundry shops is being looked for. With a quick zoom-in or out of the ma;, laundry shops right at your building, on your street corner, in the next block or in the whole city show up. Users would know if their current laundry services provider is subscribed to Lavandera.ph when its icon on the map is red. Clicking on that icon will have the visitor seeing the shop details. Threats and opportunities in the laundry industry The combined management expertise and attractiveness of Suds Laundry franchise can be cited for its success. The business now has 23 locations, all franchised stores except for two, which Ang’s family owns. Franchisees are given 6-year franchise contracts (renewable) and continuous support (advisory, marketing, and management). Ang offers to take care of his franchisees’ business risks, which usually stem from lack of business management exposure. He
trains each franchisee well before letting them manage their businesses on their own. His assistance doesn’t end there as he has a system for constantly monitoring performance of every franchised store. Ang couldn’t help but remain optimistic about the prospects in the industry. He asserts, “There are more opportunities than threats for laundry businesses.” First, the modern urban lifestyle calls for the proliferation of more laundry shops. Many individuals and families now reside in condominiums, which don’t provide ample space for doing laundry. More people are now
more
accustomed
to
paying
for
laundry
services,”
he
said.
The continuously rising tourism industry poses opportunities as well. As more hotel rooms get occupied, the demand for laundry services increases. The domino effect of a more active tourism sector extends to industrial and commercial establishments, which are also requiring laundry services. Of course, the drastic changes in our weather pattern can be a positive factor for the laundry industry. Because of the unpredictability of weather, many households prefer not to do their laundry especially on cloudy and rainy days, when the sun is not out for hang drying.
Things to consider before opening a laundry shop business It may be considered a dirty job by most, but the laundry shop business is a thriving industry in highly urbanized cities such as Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao. The growing number of Filipinos opting to live in mid-rise and high-rise condominiums, owing to the lack of space where to hang and dry clothes has spurred the growth of the laundry business in the Philippines. Washing the dirty linens may not be a bad thing after all as every whirl of the washing machine
and every steam released by the dryer generates ka-ching for you. Entrepreneur Philippines had a one-on-one interview with Monina Atienza-Santos about the ins and outs of setting up a laundry shop business. Starting nearly 10 years ago, MR. Laundry Shop was born in Quezon City with an initial investment of only P100,000 that was used to lease a space, hire staff, buy two washing and drying machines, and other products needed for the business like detergents, signage, and plastic wraps. Starting a laundry business One of the most tedious chores at home is washing mountains of clothes which is why most people look for laundry services that can do the task for them. And because having clean clothes is one of the basic needs of a person, it is no surprise that a lot of laundry shops are popping up, especially when you find out how easy it is to set one up. There are two key things in starting your own laundry business. First you need to find a good location to set-up. If you’re lucky to be living with an apartment complex or condominium nearby, then you won’t have a problem. More often than not, the tenants living there won’t have a space for their own washing machine so they will definitely need a laundry service. Another great thing about setting up a laundry business is that you won’t even need such a big space to set it up since the most important equipment you will need is a washing machine.
