    Is this normal?

    Here's an idea. It might sound extreme to some folks but realize Im just looking at pictures on the internet. I really want to try to help. I doubt the DOT will let you have 2 driveways, BUT , they might let you move the driveway. If you close off the driveway you have and put the new...

    Pretty tough question to answer

    Id load from the back one way or another. From the posted pics, I think at this site the customer will feel better facing the road during the wash process and on the way out. And the traffic on the road will see the clean car exiting and on their way

    Is this normal?

    It could be that people just dont know yet and better marketing is needed. Im not sure what that would be tho. I dont want to be a debbie downer, but it is possible that you put it in the wrong bay. IMO it needs to be as much or more of an impulse purchase than a destination purchase...

    Wash Select 2 Cryptopay and Tap

    i cant tell you how to do it but unitec used to offer wash coupons. Id call and ask about it. You can generate codes thru the fleet and coupon selection on your ws2 unit. It stinks that you have to physically be at the machine to do it, unless you use the pos4000.

    Anyone running card only?

    I think every site/ situation is different. I would be more inclined to take card only in a higher end place. At my lower end site, the customers expect it to be coin. There are some that would use a card, but the majority want to and expect to use coin

    Has anybody tried this credit card setup

    Fatboy, Im not saying just install the tap reader, Im saying install the cryptopay kit. I could be mistaken but I believe it works off the token pulse. My thought is that the 2 readers could work independently of each other. maybe, maybe not. Coach i cant use the 1 time use cards...

    Has anybody tried this credit card setup

    Ive got WS II's. I currently have the Unitec credit card setup. I like it because of the accounting, receipt printer and fleet cards. I ordered the Unitec tap reader kit. It was around 3k and came as a very nice kit. It did require a new merchant account. (PITA) It does allow for...
