    Yeah. I’ve tried Phil a lot but I think he’s busy and does more of the sales because he’s been pretty hands off on this. Going on months.

    Dencar Scanner Issue - Anyone Else having this issue

    Yes, only one. The customer support and tech is great for the day to day issues. The challenge I think has been when they can't figure it out there doesnt seem to be a very good escalation process. Usually when you call in for updates you start from day one.

    Price Increase

    Raised prices in December/January pretty significantly and then again a month later when new paystation arrived. Took advice of someone and went from four offerings to three and am blown away at how much more we are getting per wash now.

    Curious to see feedback on this topic. Current auto is a HTK on hosted solutions , all bays and vacuums are on cryptopay. 80/20 credit to cash. What success have you guys had with the loyalty cards. Anyone know of a system that can work with both units?

    HTK Loyalty Programs

    Does anyone use these? $5k to build the app out, $250 per month. Wash does about 1500 cars per month, was wondering what the payback looks like.
