orders, manage tasks, and keep the store running through Cents POS. The second is operator control —
the reporting, employee management, and remote management capabilities owners rely on to oversee and
run their business from anywhere through Cents Business Manager. The role is mostly laundry-focused
today, but spans the full breadth of garment care operations.
