Thanks! I know that my chemical cost will go up with using a foamer, but if I can get a better conversion rate to my top package, then it might be worth it. Problem is that it is an expensive experiment to try out. So not sure what to do.

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.

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...

Hello. I wanted to get some feedback on what people charge for larger vehicles in the full service operations. We are in Southern California and have been in operation for over 20 years. Throughout this time, we have been charging $1 extra for minivans and $2 extra for full size trucks and full...

I have had the Macneil Gloss Boss for the past 7 months and I am pretty happy with it. It has the same rotating brush that Sonny's has come out with, but we have it on electric drive. We are using Black Magic tire dressing with it and have it dialed in to about 0.83 ounces per car. So my current...
