Franchise Partner Invoice SOP - Everything you need to submit your weekly and monthly invoices correctly — including where to find each number, what to enter, and how to use the invoicing tool.
There are two invoice types. Most weeks you will submit both over the course of a month — they cover different earnings and are submitted on different schedules.
| Invoice Type | What It Covers | Invoice Cadence | Period | Payment Made |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly Invoice | 1 - Laundry Processing Revenue |
2 - Per Order Payment Revenue (inclusive if tips)
3 - Failed Pickup Fee Revenue | Weekly on Wednesdays | Monday – Sunday | Friday | | Monthly Invoice | 1 - Monthly Overhead Subsidy
2 - Error Chargebacks (deduction)
3 - Fuel Surcharge (if applicable) | Monthly | Prior Calendar Month | Friday |
<aside> ❌
Tips are paid separately and are not included in either invoice. These are paid directly via your Stripe Connect account. Do not add them as a line item.

Instead of building your invoice in QuickBooks, Excel, or Canva, use the 2ULaundry invoicing tool. It walks you through every field, calculates your total automatically, and generates a PDF you can submit directly.

Each field in the form has a tooltip (ⓘ) with plain-English instructions on where to find that number in your dashboard. If anything is unclear, refer to the relevant section below.

The Franchise Led Delivery dashboard is based on customer billing, which has a lag — customers are billed two or more days after pickup due to dry cleaning and multi-day turnaround times. Because of this, your prior week's numbers are not finalized until mid-week.
<aside> ❌
Do not submit your weekly invoice before end of day Wednesday. If you invoice too early, your numbers will not be final and your total may be incorrect.

| Wednesday | Earliest you should submit — after EOD only, once dashboard numbers are finalized |
|---|---|
| Thursday | Corporate reviews invoice for approval and provides any feedback |
| Friday | Payment issued by 2ULaundry — all invoices paid on Friday regardless of when submitted |
