I would absolutely recommend this workshop 10 out of 10 and 100 out of 100 stars! It was obviously very expensive, and I had a hard time swallowing the cost, but after being here for 1 hour, it was already worth it and I'm going to make that money back in the next month or two, seriously!
Alex Williams
My biggest eye-opening surprise was the night we went to the store and got to see the process of their attendants puttling all the laundry in the various machines. The volume and speed with which they work, and the smoothness was quite impressive.

Explaining what did they learn from our workshop and where it get them.
Started in 2016, Dave and his team have created a booming Laundry Pick-Up & Delivery Service which continues to grow today. After a couple of difficult and costly first years, Dave finally “cracked the code” on how to do it and now helps other owners to find the answer.
The first day starts with a hot breakfast meet and greet, followed by sessions on operational foundations, strategic redundancies, scalability, and the art of repeatable folding and packaging. Attendees will have lunch on-site, practice folding and packaging procedures, and learn about intake and delegation of laundry orders. The day ends with a party bus to an evening dinner destination and a session on the science behind a 3rd shift laundry processing team.
Hot Breakfast Meet & Greet at The Fountain:
Let’s meet at the beautiful hotel water feature where we’ll get to know each other over a delicious deluxe hot breakfast as we eat, chat and network with attendees from all over the country.
Session 1: Welcome & Queen City Laundry PUD Model Overview:
Prepare to be amazed at the scalable simplicity of our KPI’s, Revenue Breakdown & Operational Framework. In this welcome session, Dave explains how Queen City Laundry competes and dominates the big boys as an Independent Operator and how you can too!
You’ll want to have your pencil sharpened as he describes the competitive advantages of Market Differentiators and how to make them work in your favor. This beginning morning session is a high-level overview of the entire workshop that’ll get your creative mind running wild.

Session 2: Getting Started with The Proper Operational Foundations:
With the welcome and overview in hand, it’s time to get to work! Get started by teaching, discussing, and dissecting the details of launching your Pickup & Delivery Business. While this session is geared towards those that are preparing to launch in their market, there’s plenty to be learned at all levels of operations.
Session 3: How Strategic Redundancies & A Rockstar Team are the keys to Scalability.
To build a “scalable” business we must have the right foundation of redundancies and CORE Team in place, but this doesn’t need to be complicated.
We will define the roles needed at launch but more importantly dive into what the Queen City Laundry team structure and culture looks like today and how to position yourself for accelerated growth.

Session 5: The Art of Intake, Delegation and how Ownership of the Order is our secret weapon!
Watch and learn as our leadership team and drivers intake the days bounty of laundry from Cincinnati, Ohio. Yes, in the beginning there’s not much to this, but, as you scale, there’s an art to intake and assigning the orders to your team based on their strengths, weaknesses, and availability.
Also learn how our strategic “Ownership of the Order” process is one of our secret weapons and how we train, implement, and hold our processors accountable to high standards.
Lastly, in this advanced session learn what are reasonable speeds for a processor, how soon to expect a high level of production and the delicate balance of onboarding and training a new processor.
Session 4: The Art of Repeatable Folding & Packaging
Folding and bagging laundry isn’t difficult to do if you know how and have experience. Doing it quickly also isn’t difficult to do if quality isn’t a top priority. What is difficult is to accomplish a high-quality control, in an efficient manner and with highly repeatable consistency.
You’ll LOVE this hands-on session taught by our Rockstar General Manager of 10 years, Marlene Adams, and her Asst GM, Carrie Hughes. Grab a folding board and follow along as they teach a hands-on session where we learn the art of folding and packing in a quick, efficient, and highly repeatable process with stunning consistency. Guided practice with our masters available as time permits. Learn this art and you’ll be well on your way to Elite status in your market!

Session 6: Studying the Variations of Pickup & Delivery Logistics
It’s no secret that at Queen City Laundry, we are big believers in a Route Based Delivery System, but what exactly does that mean and why is it better?
In this session we will dive deep into all things logistics which includes On Demand, Window Based or Route Based Logistics? Prepare to be challenged as Dave coaches the group through this vitally important discussion.

Some clients have called this a “Thing of Wonder that you have to see to believe.”

Seth: “The thing that surprised me the most about the workshop was the amount of detail they went into. Preparing the binder that we received, all the information in there, a lot of details and coverage on all of their processes, that's been very helpful."
Katie: "Also, the willingness to share anything and everything they have like vendors and processes. There's no secrets. You ask a question and they're just an open book."
