How do you pay your managers, hourly or salary? What is the hourly/yearly pay range for your managers? Do you offer a bonus for meeting certain criteria? What is the bonus and what is the criteria? We currently pay our managers hourly with no commission. Our pay range is $14 - $20 an hour. We would like to try and create an bonus program based on meeting certain criteria and just trying to get an idea of how others are doing it.....

Typically, carwash managers work a 50 hour week, receive salary compensation of roughly $52,000 plus incentives and benefits.
Manager incentive of $12,000 or more is usually based on equation that considers year-to-year or quarterly measures of car count, average per car revenue, labor/revenue ratio, cost per car and vehicle damage.
Here, express managers seem under paid because I see some outfits offering compensation of $40,000 or so.
Absentee is different story.
Here, I’ve seen total compensation package (including benefits) for manager and assistant for higher volume washes worth as much as $150,000 (10 percent of gross sales).

It really depends on what you expect from your manager and what type of operation you have. At my flex serve site, I pay my manager $75k plus benefits and bonuses. But I do not expect my manager to grow sales and do marketing. I want them to focus on managing the labor and making sure the wash runs all the time. I do all of the marketing myself. Plus, he is managing a staff of 45 so that is a lot of work by itself.
anyusufaly, you sound like you have a high volume site with a staff as large as 45. What is your bonus structure? Are the benefits completely paid by the company or does the manager have to pay for a portion? Do you have 1 manager and some assistant managers? How do you compensate your assistant managers?

My bonus structure is all discretionary on my part. My GM and I are like family, so it's a bit of a different dynamic. All benefits for my GM are paid by the company. I also have an assistant manager. His salary is about $50k plus bonuses and health.
