SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - BostonChron -- SANTA BARBARA, Calif.  — Four Seasons Cleaners, a family-owned dry-cleaning company with three locations across Santa Barbara County, has launched a fully automated 24/7 drop-off and pick-up kiosk at its 3351 State St. location — the first system of its kind in the City of Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara County.
The new kiosks let customers skip the counter entirely. Using a simple four-step process — Register, Drop Off, Order Ready, Pick Up — customers can leave their dry cleaning any time, day or night, and return whenever it's convenient to collect it, even outside normal business hours.
Access is powered by a simple text-message verification system: customers scan a QR code posted at the kiosk, receive a one-time access text, and the secure door unlocks automatically. New customers complete a quick sign-up the first time they use the system; returning customers can access it in seconds.

"Our customers lead busy lives, and the dry cleaner's hours don't always line up with theirs," said Scott Shah, President of Four Seasons Cleaners. "We wanted to remove that friction completely. Now a customer can drop off a suit at 10 p.m. on their way home or pick up a dress at 6 a.m. before an early flight, without ever having to work around our schedule. Investing in this technology first, ahead of the rest of the county, is part of how we've always done business here — we look for ways to make life a little easier for the neighborhoods we serve."
