    Why do we not hear of changers getting into on an almost daily basis like the coin boxes? Could it be because most are in a more visually exposed area?

    Bill validators in the bays

    I don't want to say too much on here but with the photos Randy showed me I would say that the doors need to be thicker and the bolt anchor points need to be way beefier.

    Bill validators in the bays

    Why doesn't someone offer these boxes in 1/4" plate and come up with a better locking mech? I doubt it would add more than $500-$750 per box in material, extra welding and machining the cutouts. I know that's not chump change especially if you are talking 6 or 8 bays but it would be nice to not...

    Anyone know tunnels? Cost to build?

    How many are open right now? Three? It looks like none were open over a year ago. That's crazy fast.

    Credit Card Acceptance - Nayax with Unitec WS2, Hamilton ACW and Goldline

    Cryptopay also handles the PCI compliance. You can also use a cell tower type internet with Cryptopay if you wish. (just not built into the system like Nayax) The vast majority of washes already have a land line type internet for monitoring their surveillance system so that is mostly a moot...

    Air Dryer guns

    The Diskin gun even with the trigger pulled doesn't have near the volume of air coming out compared to the Air Logic gun.

    WOW! I didn’t know it could be this easy

    20 cent air fresheners that she is selling for $1.25? The reason for the duct tape over the changer was a good one. "Making" $7,400 is obviously gross revenue and she never touched on that. Good luck buying a car wash for 1.5 gross.

    Poll: We are completely cashless at our car wash

    There is a new laundromat in town that IIRC is using this system and does not have a changer or coin mechs on any machine. I'm hoping this is on Cryptopay's radar. https://laundroworks.com/
