    Laundromat general questions

    Cashless for laundromats is not a panacea ... IMHO ... i am thinking it has more pandemic characteristics. Keep in mind with the total number of washers & dryers needed the # of card receptacles. On the imo "by far better" CLA forum there has been instances brought up by reputable operators...

    Recourse

    If they have an existing garnishment that is at maximum level ... not sure on the specific state or fed law .... but I believe it is not that easy to horn in that. Also it seems like collection agencies in conjunction with a law firm ... usually handle garnishments???

    That might be "wishful thinking" & possibly a bit overconfident???

    Recourse

    How much burden of proof that it actually was over $500 in damage would be required???

    Recourse

    slash))& quote: "He suggested I try and work it out with him, and if no luck he will prosecute." It seems like you were blessed by a prosecutor who actually did some good. Less stressful in more than one way. Based on past experience (ups & downs) ... even with solid enough evidence ... it...

    I intend to raise my self serve prices this year....

    I am thinking that an operator's location within a city has a lot to do with being able to sustain higher pricing.

    Recourse

    It seems like in similar instances like described ... & our car wash has had our share of them ... it comes down to if the local authorities force the small business owner to fend for his or herself a bit too much. I am referring to the local authorities not helping by pretending that an...

    Pay Pal Chip & Tap

    When "Paypal Here's" first first version came out they had free readers that only had the swipe. We accommodated some BtoB customers early on when it came to selling our Coinco Paper Tokens. As the EMV requirement came along we did not update & we were able to convince the Paper Token...

    What is the name of this equipment?

    I see the bottle positioned downward on & with the gun. I am not familiar ... what kind of pressure is the foam delivered at? Is there similar equipment that mounts a bottle tied into the gun a bit like in the pic & it just draws some soap ... not foam ... & out of the end nozzle at over 1000...

    Anyone taking advantage of the coin shortage to raise prices?

    I remember when a head teller at the main downtown branch about 12-15 years ago or so ... was caught too close to running out of quarters. She called me to see how many we could spare. I went out of my way to bring her enough to get by. So .... there are some really good bank employees whose...

    Alarm system

    I wonder if any owners or operators have gotten to the verified alarm before the PD & the perps showed guns &/or even started to shoot at your vehicle approaching. I remember over 25 years ago when I got there first with a verified sighting of them up by a "close to roof vent". I had no gun...

    Alarm system

    Randy, The scary part nowadays ... it is possible they will still do the same damage during the sound & lights! I have always advocated split second alert to owner or staff with a way to verify before having the PD with their K9s arrive. Hopefully, the PD gets there first before the owner or...

    Internet speed for video surveillance system

    That could be a helpful observation. The question is at what point for playback .... is the bandwidth too slow??? I wonder if a remote server such as SplashTop would eliminate the slow playback. Some of those remote desktop apps allow for a temporary log in .... just in case on a dedicated...

    improving the Wash Bay at my shop

    That bottle by the nozzle concept is so foreign to me. I did find something about the fitting near the nozzle as possibly a "foam cannon"??? The loss of pressure would be less relevant if it was set up as a foamer like in the following??? I was visualizing something a quite a bit different...

    Convert a bay to several pet washes?

    One thing I like about the KR'd & Nat'l Pride'a setup is that they eliminate the need for a pump specific to the delivery of product. Their systems utilize the power of City Water Pressure in kind of a magnificent way IMHO.

    Convert a bay to several pet washes?

    AnalyticWash & others, I know KR's shampoos Veterinary Grade ... not sure how those other brands you mentioned ... come out overall-wise when it comes to specific compatible shampoos etc??? Some of our customers bring their own very high end shampoo which we say "Yea ... a little bit less...

    Convert a bay to several pet washes?

    Both KR & Nat'l Pride use the reverse hookup solenoid banks that relies on sensitive draw of shampoos etc. We are somewhat OK with that in our set up as long as we make sure our plastic tubing stays extra supple & not allowed to get old. They were both nice enough to sell me on a component...

    Anyone taking advantage of the coin shortage to raise prices?

    We had two grown men tell us that because they thought it was impossible to enforce-prevent ... so therefore they would be back when we are not looking. It seems like ... unless you had a thorough enough of a recording of the conversation ... very high possibility that they would make up a lie...
