I think $3 for 4 min is getting to be about the minimum rent you can charge for a visit to the wash . I recently went to $2 for 6:15 on vacs from .75. I got tired of cleaning up around the vacs, all the garbage they drop off, and no money in the vacs. Now there is money in the vacs, so I'm not...

I have a stop at one wash. Only generates Zombies looking at their phones. Not one dollar.

I can't imagine being in such a small pop. Base. I think going to cc's will help, maybe try a higher min $$ with cards with more time. You didn't mention if this is a part time job, or have a full time job besides. I know of one small operator near me that has a zero- turn mower and makes a...

Why go thru all the work and expense, for a maybe business to make money, talk another fast food chain into buying it from you for lots of money. Mr Roman just said- Half don't own a car, and the other half don't wash. Not a good business model! Rental units are a lot like apts, and they...

They say let's spend them with tokens also. My $1 tokens are a lot less hassle to put in for a $3 startup than 12 quarters. Giving out 11 for a $10 bill gets us a lot of tens. I can't imagine dispensing anything tokens

On that one you go into the Hamilton computer and set the prices and that talks to the crypto pay . Go to item prices.

Ditto for me . The American changer with credit card is a waste compared to my washes with crypto pay. Less than 1/3 the use age. And dispensing dollar coins will get you fined under banking regs. Way cheaper and more money to be made with in bay credit cards

Every business has them from retail shoplifters, to customers who won't pay. My oldest 87 yr old attendant chill axes with a little vodka in the coke , not much bothers him, thins his Blood and leading a long happy productive life. Just enough to take the edge off at the wash.

It was an easy install, came with new front plastic. My Hamilton dialup modem died, and wanted faster. Works just like in the bay's .

Mike how did you switch to touch pads, you installed them ?

Looking at new boxes from dultmeier- they look fairly durable on the mega meters, but others only 12 ga steel. National Prides look like the toughest, especially if you look at their you tube video. They get into a KR box in 8 secs, And don't get into theirs. Has anyone retrofitted with these...

Also super profitable as I am thinking of selling?

Have been at $3 for 4 min for over a month, and super happy with the results. I like putting in 3 tokens, and now having enough time to clean a bay, and getting another dollar from bucket washers. I believe for those that spend the minimum they are now leaving with a cleaner car. Most of the...

I suppose the problem is all the pot butts all over. I have one wash with a large lot and two buildings of washing. When it comes to the speeders. Aspirin, or alcohol. I am serious as you can't train people. They have been thru 12-16 yrs of school and these people are the finished product. Just...

There may also be a problem on the acw that causes the customer to get charged twice in a very random occasion.
