    Anyone else feeling the sting of the economy

    Were down based on the numbers that our Petits record in their computers. I dont know if you're familiar or not but there is a wash counter on them and it shows a breakdown per day and it breaks it out per wash package as well. I think it displays the last two years. Financially, were still...

    Anyone else feeling the sting of the economy

    I heard last year was pretty good. Winter definitely was good for us. Unfortunately a lot of that cash has dried up because of the legal fees we had to pay in order to close.

    Dencar Pay Stations

    I would love to hear some feedback from people who have experience with the Dencar paystation. I initially thought it was going to be our next upgrade but i've started to hear some mixed things about them. Anyone here have them?

    Light shows for Petit Accutrack

    I am looking to install a light show in my petit IBA. I have two LED light bars installed already but I recently upped my top wash package to $18 that includes a ceramic wax (which has been an overwhelming success). I just want to give our customers more for that kind of money. Im also looking...

    Gift Cards w/ PDQ/WALS

    Do you still need help with this? My advice would be to reach out to PDQ because they are pretty helpful. First, for the gift cards, you have to get cards made up. They need a prefix code and a suffix code. The prefix code is a number that you will program into your paystation via the WALS menu...

    HTK Loyalty Programs

    I was going to do this, but Hamilton got back to me and let me know that my HTK needs all sorts of upgrades in order to run the software. Somewhere in the ballpark of $20k upfront. So be aware of that depending on how old your equipment is, you might be better off upgrading the HTK to something...

    Petit IBA

    The petit is expensive, but absolutely worth it in my opinion. I have two of them at two separate locations. $250k was the latest figure I received on installing a new one from my supplier. I know that the cost of goods is constantly on the rise though so it might be more now.
