Flush has been evolved that allows cafes and coffee stores to put into effect a charging system for toilet utilization

Flush, a new startup, aims to address the issue of limited access to clean and available public restrooms by creating a marketplace that connects users with businesses willing to rent out their restrooms for a fee. Elle Szabo, the founder of Flush, came up with the idea after facing challenges finding public restrooms while on medication. The platform allows businesses, including cafes, restaurants, and hotels, to list their restrooms for rent at a price of $5, with Flush taking a 5% cut from each reservation. The app features a rating system to ensure cleanliness, and the startup is exploring insurance options to compensate businesses for potential damage caused by users.

Flush sees an opportunity for businesses to generate additional revenue without increasing overhead costs, and it provides a unique means for attracting new customers. The platform’s business model targets emergency situations or instances where a clean and private restroom is desirable. Flush aims to make restroom access more convenient for users and offer businesses an additional revenue stream. While similar concepts have been explored in the past, Flush is betting on the potential success of its marketplace approach to restroom access.
