Why most LA businesses are overpaying for linen service

You run a restaurant and your linen is on a managed-rental contract from one of the big chains (Cintas, UniFirst, Aramark). They lock you in for 60 months, charge $0.95 per apron per week regardless of usage, send drivers who damage linen and call it normal wear, and the contract auto-renews unless you fight. You'd pay 30% less to own your own linens and use a wash & press service.

FOLD is different

FOLD charges per-piece menu linen press. A typical 60-seat restaurant has 60–120 lbs of linen rotation per week. At 80 lbs that's $140 + $9 fee = $149/week, $645/month. The chain rental on the same volume is usually $1,000+. You also own your own linens (we're a service, not a rental contract) so they're yours to keep.

What you get

How it works

  1. Tell us your volume. Email hello@getfold.co or text (310) 991-8889 with your weekly pickup volume estimate. We’ll quote within an hour.
  2. We schedule a route. Most LA commercial accounts are on a recurring weekly or twice-weekly route. Pickup window is your call — many of our gym/restaurant clients are after-hours pickups.
  3. We wash and press at our LA facility. 25-year-old dry-cleaning operation. Your linen never leaves Los Angeles.
  4. Delivery before your shift starts. We aim for pre-7am delivery for restaurants, pre-8am for medspas, pre-6am for boutique hotels. Tell us your needs.
  5. Invoice net-30 or charge a card on file — your call.

First pickup 50% off — same as residential.

If you’ve never used FOLD, your first pickup is half-price so you can evaluate quality without commitment. After that, regular per-pound pricing. No contracts ever.

FAQ

Do I need to provide my own linen?

Yes. FOLD is a wash & press service, not a linen rental program. Most of our commercial clients prefer this model because it means they own their inventory and aren’t locked into a 60-month rental contract.

What’s the minimum pickup size?

15 lbs (~$26.25 in linen at per-piece menu + $9 service fee = $35.25 minimum). Most commercial pickups are 50–500 lbs so the minimum rarely matters.

Can you handle bleachable whites separately?

Yes. We run separate whites-only and colors cycles. Tell us at intake which items are sortable.

Do you do delicate fabrics like silk or linen napkins?

Yes — we run cold-water gentle cycles for delicates and natural-fiber napkins. Tag them at pickup or label the bag.

Do you offer a recurring route?

Yes. Most commercial clients are on a fixed weekly or twice-weekly route. Set it up via email or get one pickup done first to confirm fit.

Can I see a sample wash before committing?

Absolutely. Send a 15–30 lb sample bag for the first pickup (50% off promo applies) and evaluate quality on real loads.

Damage protection?

Up to $250 cash per item, $500 cash per order. Higher than chain services that cap at $50 store credit. Read the full terms.
