Laundry & Dry Cleaning

How Pressed Cleaners scaled to two locations without adding an HR department.

A premium dry cleaning operation with 19 employees, hourly staff, and delivery drivers. OneCo replaced three separate tools — and a lot of Sunday stress.

The Challenge

Two locations, three tools, and no one to manage them.

When Pressed opened their second location in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood, they had a payroll system from one vendor, banking at a local credit union, and a shared Google Sheet for tracking driver routes and bonuses. It was already fraying at the edges with one location. With two, it fell apart.

Separating income and expenses by location was impossible — everything ran through one account. Driver bonuses were calculated manually and frequently wrong. And every time a new employee started, someone had to physically hand them a paper packet and chase them down for signed forms.

The owner needed a single system that could handle multi-location banking, variable pay structures, and digital onboarding — without the cost or complexity of enterprise software. OneCo checked every box.

How It Happened

Three tools replaced. Three weeks to implement.

Week 1

Two business accounts, zero branch visits.

Pressed opened a dedicated OneCo checking account for each of their two locations — Midtown and Buckhead — from a single admin login. Funds were separated by location from day one.

Week 2

19 employees onboarded in three days.

Pressers, counter staff, and drivers all received an onboarding link via text. Each completed their W-4, direct deposit setup, and I-9 remotely — no HR session, no paperwork pile.

Week 3

Weekly payroll set up with delivery bonuses.

OneCo handled standard hourly wages plus per-route delivery bonuses for drivers. The custom pay component was built in without any manual workaround.

Month 2

Owner stopped being the bottleneck.

With payroll approvals taking minutes instead of hours, the owner handed off review to an office manager. The entire workflow now runs without her direct involvement each cycle.

"We were running two locations on three different systems and none of them talked to each other. OneCo was the first thing that actually made sense for a business like ours."

The Results

What running on OneCo actually looks like.

Driver pay & bonuses

Before

Manual spreadsheet calculations for per-route bonuses, frequently paid incorrectly

After

Custom pay components built into OneCo payroll — calculated and distributed automatically each cycle

Multi-location banking

Before

One account for both locations, impossible to track revenue or expenses by store

After

Separate accounts per location with a consolidated view — P&L clarity without an accountant

New hire onboarding

Before

Paper packets handed out in-store, forms chased down over days

After

Digital link sent via text — W-4, direct deposit, and I-9 completed before the first shift
