    Nayax doesn’t shut off

    There are two options to stop the charge with Nayax. 1) a stop button on the touchscreen - is that on the screen while running in count up mode? If not, call Nayax support and they can resolve that 2) wire in a hardware stop button and program the Nayax VPOS to use that signal to stop a...

    NAYAX on Wi-Fi?

    Do you not have good cell service or is there another reason to use ethernet/wi-fi instead of the cellular connection?

    Unitec WashChange conversion to dollar coins

    Thanks for the input. I am sure I will look at Hamilton when it is time to replace the Unitec changers but I don't agree that the best thing to do is buy a brand new changer. These have been reliable for a long time, I wish someone still made one that is as good.

    Unitec WashChange conversion to dollar coins

    Thanks for the response. That is a good point about the contacts. It is a 17 year old changer and I'm sure the dip switches have never moved. I will try contact cleaner. We have been using dollar coins for a long time. If you have any questions about changing over, feel free to ask. David

    Unitec WashChange conversion to dollar coins

    I purchased a wash with a Unitec WashChange machine. I prefer to dispense dollar coins so I tried converting it. I have done it twice before on other Unitec changers with no issues. When I change the dip switch setting to dispense 1 coin per dollar instead of 4 coins per dollar, it doesn't...

    Getting the grime off Windows in a Tunnel - Is there a chemical solution that does this in 20 minutes?

    SAW works great for us because we clean our walls, windows and equipment on a regular basis. I recently purchased a wash that had not been kept clean. SAW was working but would have needed many applications to get through all of the grime. A more aggressive cleaner like Klean Wall or Acidex...

    Competing With Express Tunnel Wash

    Here is why I am assuming $10-$11. The inputs include percentage of members, price of monthly pass, and washes per member. I think 40-70% member washes is realistic. Monthly pass price averaging $30, and 3 to 3.5 washes per month per member. 70% members, $30 per month, 3.5 washes per member...

    Competing With Express Tunnel Wash

    Your average ticket assumptions are off. Unless the monthly pass is set up poorly, you should not drop from $13/ car to $8. $10 or $11 would be more realistic and now your annual revenue is $600-670k. That should leave a nice profit after covering the additional expense.

    System to remotely reset Laser 4000 (Virtual Joystick on your phone)

    I don't have a Laser 4000 any more but if I did, I would be very interested. That is a great solution. I wonder if it could be adapted to Razor's as well. There should be inputs that the remote uses to move the machine around. I'll have to take a closer look at my Razor. David

    Presoak/Bug Cleaner/Tire Cleaner in SS Bays

    Are you running the same product at the same dilution for all three applications? If so, why not add the additional tanks and solenoids so that you can give the customer 3 different products? Customers will use the products even more if they are effective. What is your cost per minute for the...

    Unitec Compatible MagStripe Cards

    Can a card company use an existing card to determine what you need? I have some of the Unitec VIP cards that we no longer use. I can send them to you David

    Subscription Model For IBA

    When done correctly, gross revenue goes up, average ticket goes down and most importantly, net profit goes up. Yes, you will wash more cars. You have to use a system that allows people to sign up easily in an unattended environment and protects from abuse. (Abuse is washing multiple cars on...

    Issues with a new SecureCoin

    From your description, it sounds possible that the acceptor was not reinstalled into the bracket correctly. (jamming again shortly after cleaning, and then falling out of the bracket) Good luck with whatever acceptor you try next. David
