Summary Report
This is probably the most commonly used report in the system.
It provides a high-level overview of various metrics across any date range you wish to review.
There are a few different ways to get to our Summary report.
All links will bring you to same report (they will default to different date ranges, but the date range can always be adjusted once on the Summary Report page itself):
The following table describes the different reported metrics in more detail.
These metrics will be seen on many different Laundroworks Reports, and will mean the same thing on all reports.
The table below will have all of these metrics listed in the order they will appear on the Summary Report.
Note that the Summary report will hide certain metrics, if:
- the specific parameter does NOT apply to your location,
- or if no transactions related to that specific parameter exist in the reporting period:

Reporting Metrics/Parameters
Parameter | Description |
Payments | The total value of payments received from all sources - Cash, Credit/Debit cards, online loading related to the LaundryCat app accounts (Web) This indicates money spent to add value to Laundry Cards/LaundryCat app account balances. Note: the Payment Breakdown section, on the right side of the report, shows a breakdown of this payment number by the different payment methods, as well as a pie chart representing this breakdown: |
New Card Dispensed | The total number of new laundry cards that were dispensed by the VAC kiosks. |
Payments for New Cards | The total value customers spent towards purchasing a new laundry card. |
Net Payments (Total - New Card) | This is just the Payments figure minus the Payments for New Cards figure. |
Applied Surcharges (Credit/Debit/Web) | This is the total Credit/Debit card surcharges that were collected during the given reporting period. This figure is NOT included in any revenue or payment numbers. |
Bonus Payments | The total value of all bonus payments given towards a Laundry Card/LaundryCat app account's balance as a result of a reload bonus promotion. |

This includes laundry machine cycles, vending machine purchases, Point-of-Sale reader transactions, and Door access reader transactions (if a cost is associated with Door reader access).

Note that this total IS part of the Machine Cycle Revenue figure, but is NOT part of the Direct Machine Cycle Revenue figure. For example, if you use s Laundry Card to pay $5 for a washer start, and that washers gives out $0.50 towards the Free Dry Balance of that Laundry Card, and then you use that Laundry Card to pay $0.25 to start a dryer; the Machine Cycle Revenue figure would increase by $5.25, the Direct Machine Cycle Revenue would increase by $5.00, the Free Dry Payouts would increase by $0.50, and Free Dry Redeemed would increased by $0.25. |
Average Revenue per Machine | Machine Cycle Revenue divided by the total number of card readers installed in the store at the time of running the report. |

Number of Cards Used | Total number of unique Laundry Cards that have had transactions during the time window of the report.

User Cycle Breakdown Section
This section of the Summary Report breaks down the Machine Cycle Revenue number in 2 different ways:
- usage based on Account type (Laundry Cards vs LaundryCat app accounts)
- usage based on Machine type (Washers, Dryers, Vending Machines, POS Readers)
- usage based on Account type (Laundry Cards vs LaundryCat app accounts)
- usage based on Machine type (Washers, Dryers, Vending Machines, POS Readers)
Just like the Machine Cycle Revenue number in the main section of the Summary Report,
these breakdowns do not include any Management Card/WashLynx app account usage.
Note: Our system runs a nightly cleanup routine on all transaction data collected during the day.
Until this routine is complete, any transaction data, collected during the day, has not been "settled" yet.
Until this routine is complete, any transaction data, collected during the day, has not been "settled" yet.
As a result, when looking at a summary report for the current day, it is possible that this data will not be displaying accurate figures.
It is recommend that you wait until the transaction data has been settled, before auditing any reports, to ensure you are seeing accurate values.
If you are looking for a summary report for todays transactions, we recommend waiting until the next day to audit the values of that summary report.
