Specialty and other unique uses

Laundry machine reservation software

HoldATime reserves washers and dryers as numbered cycle-length holds. Dorms and clubs keep Washer 3 off a sticky note on the machine.

How to set it up

Create Washers and Dryers as two resources with a unit per machine. Set a cycle length. This is not a paid-laundry vendor API.

A QR poster in the laundry room opens the next open washer or dryer so people are not stacking sticky notes on the lid.

  • Number each washer and dryer.
  • Set cycle-length duration.
  • Limit who may book if the room is residents-only.
  • Post a QR code in the laundry room.

Who it is for

Dorms, clubs, and shared housing that manage a small laundry room.

Frequently asked questions

Can you reserve laundry machines with HoldATime?

Yes. Number each washer and dryer, set a cycle length, and let people hold a machine from the room poster.

Does HoldATime take laundry payments?

Optional reservation fees can sit on the resource. It does not replace a vendor card-reader network.

How do machine units and QR work?

Washer 3 is independent of Dryer 1. The poster opens availability; the pass shows the machine and time.

Where do we start after picking laundry?

Create washer and dryer resources, number units, set cycle length, then publish.
