We (Touch4Wash) offer our Control Center model. It can give you all the bells and whistles of the Touch4Wash platform plus the added features of wash counts, enhance wash stacking and employee time keeping. I don't know all your equipment but most likely you would not need to upgrade your...
I hear you. We started this journey as Text4Wash. Simply send a text and it starts the wash. This was before the app. We would see times back then where they would spell incorrectly and the wash would not start - not too often but would have a few. So then we added call4wash. Simply call a...
I see this guy on linkedin a lot also. Not sure if he is a good resource or not as I have not worked with him, but he sure does post a lot about Car Wash Loans.

Can you use industry stats for your analysis? These stats are from a few years ago.

Also, with the fleets. Once an account is tied to a fleet, the default is for all their transactions to be charged to the fleet. However, we have also built in a mechanism for the customer to use their account for non-fleet activity. Say they use the system to wash their squad car, but also...
Okay, this might get a bit lengthy....
Our fleet tools are pretty cool. Once the fleet owner has an account (downloads the app and creates and account like everyone else). You would go to the web portal and assign that account as a fleet owner. Now the owner can manage the fleet themselves or...
Just some more food for thought. The QR code approach seems valid, but of the thousands of transactions we process on a daily basis, we really have not seen selecting the incorrect bay as an issue.
Hello Waxman,
Touch4Wash does not use QR codes for our services to work. Simply tap buttons and off you go. If you would like I can create a demo account for you to give it a try. If you are interested, simply DM me your cell and I will get it setup.
Hope this helps.

TJ,
You can do all those items but the LPR with the Touch4Wash system and not have to upgrade the paystations. Could save you some big bucks. I am one of the owners. Just let me know if you would like more info.

Old thread I stumbled across here. We have a customer that is looking to switch from this system and use our fleet management tools. Did you ever find an alternative solution that worked for you?
For what it is worth, here is a snip from an article we wrote a while back about memberships at self serve car washes. Don't take offense to the simple math. The point is that the right level of memberships helps offset the fixed cost of the business. I've heard it said the the most expensive...
Quick reflection that I hope some of you will resonate with...
I was talking with an operator the other day. We were reflecting on all the knowledge required to run a successful wash. Electrical, plumbing, mechanics, pneumatics, hydraulics, construction, customer service, management, HR...
