    Car Wash Accounting - Operating Cash Reserve

    I can't give you a percentage, my wash can be closed up to 60 days due to winter weather so reserves are important. 6 months of operating expense work for me. That includes property taxes. Hope that helps.

    Poll: I plan on taking a few days off this summer to relax.

    I take regular vacations got 3 planned @ 2 weeks each this year.Never understood how car wash owners don't, take vacations. They are not indispensable, they will regret not enjoying time with family or relaxing when faced with heath issues. Life is to be lived ,not to be a slave to your business.
