Well put. Increasingly I'm seeing the same. The SS side was a little slow to take up as a new payment option, but as habits change, it gets more usage. Before I implemented it, I had never had a request for CC acceptance at the vacs, now its a somewhat common question.

Zero...get 100% of transaction fee is kept ($2 in my case) and no fees whatsoever.

I have the ATM, CC acceptances in all bays, Auto and Pet Washes. I would have them at the vacs/vending if I could.

In the past decade or so, Canada has introduced the $1 & $2 coin. Last year the dropped the pennies and gone to all polymer bills. Why so much change so fast? Because tangible coins and notes are a nightmare and costing the taxpayer billions. The government here would be more than happy to...

With the card system I have, that's actually a selling point. The reality is that passing the card around is a pain. It's never in the car you need to wash and eventually gets lost (you sell them with "not responsible for lost or stolen cards"). So that rarely happens. The only example of...

So I use to have a bank owned ATM and they paid me rent. After 6 years they decided to pull it out because not enough users from other banks (where they collect $2 fee) were using the machine. After looking at receipts dropped in the garbage, I could see how many were from other banks as the...

I have four of them used for all kinds of purposes. They work well.

I have and ATM, credit card acceptances in all bays/pet tubs, dollar coins, twin changers and thinking about a bill breaker. All work well and people can pay me anyway they want and I'm happy to take it.

WAxman, I have implemented it and I have heard the arguments above. What can say is that it provides you with cash upfront and provides with a different way to offer your services. You can look at my old posts on the matter. For me I wanted this for both my SS bays and IBA as separate...

Randy, License plate camera...$200

Good troubleshooting! Goes back to "whats the last thing you did before it started happening?" But the phase thing and the triac is something I will need to file in the back of my mind (if I find space).

Love the 'wheel brighter' from KR. Spray on, HP wash off, impressive results. Customers love to see clean wheels and they look like we spent hours on them when it was less than 30sec per wheel.

Indiana Wash, I think the foamer will work better. The purple presoak is a presoak and if the pH is different than the powder, then it can interfere with the cleaning. Also, the presoak in the drum mixed with the purple presoak you use as a surfactant may not mix well...its not really meant...

Indiana, You need to replace your injectors, with dual injectors (on tip for presoak & one for foamer). I would also switch to Simoniz Foamer and adjust as needed. I have a M5 and I think I use the smallest tip for the foamer and one of the largest ones for the presoak, so I use much less...

Yeah I did...with mixed results. Correct worked best for me.

First, I think you are not taking into consideration the costs involved with handling cash. From coin & Bill acceptors, change machines, trips to the bank, bank handling charges, security, counterfeit, loss of biz, less usage, etc. I think if you could come up with a figure on these expenses...

No...Unitec doesn't offer it yet and I'm in Canada so Cryptopay doesn't support us yet.

Dcalhoun, I would not call your results anything but anecdotal. First, your time frame is too short and second, you don't really keep track of different usage. Finally, only some of your services have it so its not universal (personally I don't like that). I have installed CC acceptance...

mikexpress, You can buy the powdered soaps in larger containers for a bit of a savings. For example, the powder that I use (Simoniz Correct) is available in 100lbs containers...so you would need three to make the 300 gals. The problem with the big containers is that you need warm water to...

A bit of a clean scent...but not like the Purple Presoak or the Foam Brush soap. To me scent is nice, but if they see the soap and it foams up nice, they're happy.
