    CryptoPay Fees

    Perhaps someone else can answer. I seem to recall that some of the CC systems combined multiple swipes in one day into a single transaction. So, if a person swiped at a Vac and then a Bay it would only incur the one charge. Can anyone answer for sure vis a vis Cryptopay and others?

    CryptoPay Fees

    If a large share of your transactions will be for very low amounts -$1 -$2 the percentage of fees will be higher, no matter what CC provider you use. Simple but non exact (and way too high %) example. With 55 $1.00 swipes and a 10 cent swipe fee ($5.50 Total) and and 10% other fees your fees...

    CryptoPay Fees

    The experiment is flawed or you are not a candidated for any CC setup. If you are always using the CC for $1.00 transactions the fees will be way to high as a percentage because it's the same swipe fee for $1.00, $5.00 or $10.00. The breakdown of fees is a nightmare but to sum it up, last...

    How cold is cold when not to open the wash?

    I guess I don't know what you know. Frozen lock problems? Don't recall the last time I put a key in a car door lock to open it. High was about -10 today and managed to keep the 1 of 4 places open since that conveyor does not extend outside the building. On sunny days with dirty cars and...

    How cold is cold when not to open the wash?

    Math and Theory are nice but ignores factors. Cost may exceed revenue during slow times, but attendant can use the slow time for clean up and fix up. There is also a benefit to having people know you are going to be open as opposed to thinking you are closed a lot.

    Starting from Scratch..... What Self Serve Bay Lighting would you choose and Why ?

    MEP, if you look at specs you are 100% correct. But I have to say with 150W LED fixtures from TSS virtualy side by side with 320 W Scottdsdales (Replaced some old 400W MH) I have to say the LED's are whiter and brighter. Specs say I'm wrong. I know. It's kind of like "What are you going to...

    FloJet Question

    FWIW I think you are running the air pressure way to high. As a rule of thumb I figure 10 psi = 1GPM on the flow jet although it's very unscientific because there are so many variables. I know they are rated to 100psi but I rarely run any over 60 and usualy much less. I think my Tunnel pre...

    Starting from Scratch..... What Self Serve Bay Lighting would you choose and Why ?

    How cold is cold when not to open the wash?

    We are inn Chicagom and EE so no issue with Towel Dryers. Come Monday expected high is -12. I have instructed locations to open and see what happens. Freezing problems may depend on which way the wind blows and how hard. If there are freezing issues I have instructed them to close.
