I've spoken to an operator who put a few of the systems in, and immediately noticed the smell in the morning almost gone, and has continue to lower the dosing on the chem side (soaps, rinse aide etc.) and has eliminated the dosing into the reclaim water (ozone, peroxide whatever they were using)...

We have McNeil distribution right here in Florida, so I was not concerned with lead time, yes I am going with their controller. I saw the vacutech at the carwash show and was impressed, but really only looked at them and Sonny's. The T-Force seems to be an evolution, and I like that. I like...

I’m still in the process of getting everything finalized, but it’s looking like McNeil, Vacutech, with Sonny’s POS. I’d love to hear your input though.

You just described my area... and while I would love to go cashless, it sounds like I shouldn't. I went to the Convenience store across the street, and asked the assistant manager their cash % and she said 60%, my jaw dropped. Thank you for the input.

That is why I am here asking for input from folks with actual experience having made the switch.

Wow, OK that's still 20-25% Interesting, thank you!

If you think about it, even if they don't get in, they can do hundreds or thousands in damage each time they try... then you have to pay a manager to go get the cash, account for it, deposit it, and reload change... They also mentioned people loading singles into the machine on the weekend...

I've been researching pay stations, and everything else for my build. After looking into it, I have it boiled down to Sonny's and Micrologic. DRB seems antiquated. I am not using Sonny's equipment, but am 99% sure I'm going with Sonny's POS, and 75% sure I'm going with their tunnel controller...

I am building my express tunnel, and really trying to make this an awesome experience for our customers. I have heard a bit about being cashless, and how it reduces employee theft, time getting cash deposited, getting change, and vandalization theft from the pay stations. Major theme parks...

I had similar experience with Sonny's, Lots of promises, but then when it came time to do something they were MIA. They seem to be all frosting and no cake. Lots of people on their huge space at the ICA in Nashville, great website, great photos but no substance behind them. I even had a call...

I was asking about using the same company's chemicals as the equipment I am installing (asking if I would be locked in to theirs alone), and the guy I am working with for my equipment mentioned that I could try different chemical brands to see what we liked best, and as an aside he mumbled, and...

The membership issue is why I am making this decision before we open. If they had 7 days and we "take away" a day that will seem like they lost something. I we are open 6 days when they sign up, they know that in advance.

My nearest competition is 16 miles away.

Fantastic Idea, thank you!

This was in reference to the founder stating that A Chik Fil A makes as much money in 6 days as McDonald's or other franchises make in 7 days

Thanks KentAdel, that's great advice, and generally what I do, just looking to see if anyone has seen major backlash. I think if we do it from the beginning, no one will feel like we're taking anything away from them (as opposed to opening 7 days and then closing on Sundays later). As always...

We are Christian, and are operating in the south where most folks are too, does anyone have any input on the impact of being closed on Sundays? I would like my employees to be able to have a day of rest, and like Chik Fil A think we may do as much business in 6 days as the rest do in 7. Any...

I've looked them up and it appears that McNeil (NCS), and Sonny's have distribution right near me, while Motor City would be out of state. At this point I'm going to let Sonny's and NCS work proposals and see where we end up as far as cost, equipment etc. I can update here if anyone cares to...

Wow, that’s great to hear, it’s like I can’t go wrong! im in Florida so Sonny’s seems like a natural choice, but NCS has distribution right here as well. Thank you for the input.
