    Monex connection help

    No, everything goes over cell phone network and is included with the monthly per unit fee. You can choose between Verizon and ATT based on which gets better reception at your wash. They also have an Ethernet option if cell service is bad at your wash, but we've never needed it. Each reader comes...

    CC / Cash ratio

    I've personally never seen or heard of cc % that low compared to cash unless the cc sales are still building up from a recent addition of cc to a site, but again that's irrelevant, each site will be completely different on this ratio. If they are trying to get you to pay for the cash they are...

    CC / Cash ratio

    There is no rule of thumb for this ratio, each market and wash is going to be completely different. Some maybe at 80%+ cc in higher demographics, and or it could be the other way around at a wash right down the street. On another note, you need to put cc in your 1st wash - that will be your...

    New guy

    credit cards will be your single biggest boost in revenue, make sure everything is working and working well is first priority. We prefer nayax for cc, but there are a lot of cryptopay folks since they have been around the longest. nayax has a modern, user friendly customer interface - which is...

    SS HP wax

    I'll have to look into this, mark 7 likes to keep a lot of stuff proprietary, so they may want to "engineer" the solution. We are in the process of trying to sell this location, so we're on hold right now for any big changes.

    Advice on increasing CPD on Petit

    Can you capture the Walmart shoppers traffic? Free or 1/2 of any wash with a Walmart receipt from same date? Might be worth trying a similar promo for a while to get people used to using your wash when they do their weekly shopping. You want it to be part of their routine, weekly shopping and...

    Advice on increasing CPD on Petit

    It's also the middle of summer, so going to be a little harder to build up your business in the dog days of summer, at least that's how our washes cycle, we are in the southeast. Might get more marketing traction in the fall

    Going Cashless?

    This is very market dependent and what form of payment your customers have available, some markets will have customers that don't qualify for cards. If you think you can do it and not lose much potential business, it's probably worth it for all the reasons you stated. Other thing to consider...

    Advice on increasing CPD on Petit

    This is the main problem right here, the fact that it took 9 months to put out a good looking car. Customers may give you benefit of the doubt once, that maybe something was wrong that 1 day they washed, and that's a big maybe. Twice in a row, and almost a guaranteed lost customer, especially...

    Bay Hose Sizing

    I should clarify, this is what I do - only 1/4 from manifold to gun. 3/8 for pump to bay. Running a 2505 tip set at 1200psi at pump - like this combo and customers come to our wash due to better pressure than our competitors

    Bay Hose Sizing

    We switch over to 1/4 as hoses fail. Quicker switch over on functions and lighter and easier for customer to use.

    Water softener installation - what needs soft water? Sizing?

    County report says they consistently see hardness of 1.5gpg at their point of testing, will have to test what is actually delivered to us and out to the bay. So nothing super hard from a surface level view, but leaving water spots on cars. Positioning to be a premium wash, so looking to add soft...

    Water softener installation - what needs soft water? Sizing?

    Was considering using the tanks and doing a full refurbishment with new clack head. Don't know if the tanks are worth saving, or just buying a new assembled system and installing.
