So how much do laundry drivers actually make in San Antonio? Let’s skip the hype and do the math.
The pay model: you see the payout before you accept
Every job on the board shows your net payout upfront. As a founding driver you keep 90% of the customer’s offer price, after Stripe’s card-processing fee (2.9% + $0.30) is deducted. For example, on a $25.00 order, Stripe takes $1.03, leaving $23.97 — the driver keeps 90% = $21.57 and the platform keeps $2.40. No guessing, no tip-baiting, no algorithmic pay cuts.
Example day
Illustrative example, not a guarantee — actual earnings vary.
- 6 orders accepted across the day
- Average order: $28 → your 90% cut after Stripe’s fee: ~$24.20
- Day total: ~$145
Run that 5 days a week and you’re looking at roughly $725/week — with a schedule you control completely. Again, this is an example, not a guarantee — actual earnings vary by order size, neighborhood, and how many pickups you accept.
What affects your earnings
- Order size — bigger bag counts mean bigger tickets.
- Route density — accepting jobs near each other cuts drive time.
- Turnaround speed — faster returns mean more orders per day.
- Repeat customers — great service can earn you repeat requests from hosts and local businesses.
Laundry vs. food delivery pay
Food delivery in San Antonio averages $15–$20/hour before gas, with constant unpaid waiting at restaurants. Laundry orders pay per completed job — customers set their own offer price for each pickup, so prices vary by order size and neighborhood — on your own schedule: no lunch-rush grind, no cold-food timers, no ratings hostage situations.
Frequently asked questions
How and when do I get paid?
Your earnings are recorded when you mark each order returned, and tracked in your dashboard. You’re payable on every completed order.
Are there fees?
The platform takes 10% during your 12-month founding period, calculated after Stripe’s card-processing fee (2.9% + $0.30) — that’s it. No signup fees, no monthly fees.
Do customers tip?
The offer price is the payout. Great service earns you repeat customers, which is worth more than tips.
