Screens for self-service laundries
OutDeck runs the screens in a self-service laundry with nobody in the shop. A TV can play your promos and prices, and a tablet beside the payment machine can show how to use the washers and dryers. Screens keep playing offline once their content has downloaded, and you change what they show from your phone, wherever you are.

What a self-service laundry can show
-
How to use the machines
A few clear slides: load, choose a programme, pay, then collect. Short enough to read while the washer fills.
-
Prices per load
Wash and dry prices by machine size, kept up to date from the dashboard whenever they change.
-
Quiet-hour deals
A cheaper wash on weekday mornings, scheduled to show only during those hours.
-
Notices by date
A machine waiting for repair, or a festive greeting, set between two dates so it comes down by itself.
-
A late-night loop
A quieter playlist for the late hours if you open 24 hours, or display hours that black out the screen when you close.
-
Your own promos
Detergent offers, loyalty deals or a new branch opening, designed as images or short videos.

A typical laundry setup
1 shop, 2 screens

One landscape TV above the folding table for promos and prices, and one Android tablet on the wall beside the payment machine for how-to slides. Both play day and night, or use display hours if the shop closes.
Work out your own setupCan laundry screens run with nobody in the shop?
Yes. Each screen saves its content and keeps playing if the internet drops, once it has downloaded everything. An Android TV, TV box or tablet also starts by itself after a power cut once you allow “Display over other apps” during setup.
From home, the dashboard shows when each screen last checked in, so you can see if one has gone quiet. OutDeck does not send alerts, so take a look now and then, and after a power cut in the area.
How do I change a laundry screen from home?
Open the dashboard in your phone's browser, upload a new slide, and add it to a playlist or schedule it. Online screens get the change within seconds, and Sync now sends it straight away.
Does OutDeck connect to the washers or the payment machine?
No. OutDeck plays the images and videos you upload. It does not show which machines are free, take payments or read anything from your machines, so keep the prices and instructions in your slides up to date.
Common questions
Can a laundry screen play all night?
Yes. Leave display hours off and the screen plays day and night. You can also schedule a quieter playlist for the late hours, for example from 11pm to 6am.
Can a tablet show customers how to use the machines?
Yes. Make a few simple slides, give the tablet a playlist of them, and mount it beside the payment machine. Keep the tablet on its charger, because it plays with the screen on all day.
Can one account run the screens in several laundries?
Yes. Each laundry is a shop with its own screens and time zone, and a promo can be shared with every shop or kept to one.
