THE CHALLENGE
Tokens, cards and visits to see which machine is free
Self-service laundromats are growing in hostels, PGs and campuses, and college tenders now ask for connected machines that students can pay for themselves. Most machines still depend on tokens, cards or a staff member to start a cycle, and operators cannot see which machine is free, busy or broken without visiting.
WHAT IT DOES
What it does for you and your customers
RNDSquare designs the payment module for commercial washers and dryers, with one QR code per machine. It starts cycles through coin-pulse emulation or a relay, so it also fits machines already in the field, and it reads door and running-state signals to confirm each cycle started. We also build the application support: prices per cycle type, dryer top-ups, a student app that shows which machines are free, and reports for hostel and campus authorities.
Accept UPI from any app
The user picks a wash or dry cycle and pays for it at the machine.
Sound confirmation
The machine announces the payment and starts the cycle.
Instant refund on service failure
If the cycle does not start, the payment is refunded automatically.
Hosts receive payments within 24 hours
Operators get each day’s collections the next day.
Full application development
Live machine status, cycle counts, fault alerts and service history are built for you.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask us
Can UPI be added to coin-operated washing machines?
Yes. The payment module starts cycles through coin-pulse emulation or a relay, so it fits machines already in the field as well as new ones.
How do students know which machine is free?
The module reads door and running-state signals from each machine. A student app shows which machines are free, busy or need service.
What happens if the cycle fails after the customer pays?
If the cycle does not start after payment, the payment is refunded automatically.
When do owners receive the money?
Laundromat operators receive payments within 24 hours. Each day's collections arrive the next day, with a settlement report.
