Taping it up!

Finally joined the $$ a minute club, with a $4 start and $15 max on the CC’s…

The taps are new, thanks to listening to a few of you, say, embrace the tech…!

Here’s our meter door…

Happy Washing!

Do you have issues with customers driving off while leaving the meter running….?

And then balking later at the $20 tab, as they “thought “ they pushed the stop at $5….?

I haven't had any complaints. But I am still at a soft opening stage of my carwash. It was closed for like 7+ years, still remodeling the site. If they are going to complain about $20 they might complain about $15. I've watched customers do $20 and then run their card again. Lots of customers doing over $20. I have a high bay...11' so getting larger vehicles. They might need more time to wash their trucks/RVs.
 
Oooh!! "Tapping" it up
I thought something bad happened and you were taping it up.😅

Off topic, but how do you like your push button selectors vs. a rotary switch?

Change the Ginsan stop button to “pause” or “safety stop”… that’s helped with people who can’t find the stop button on the crypto reader

THIS! I prefer "Equipment Safety Stop" but those others work well also. It's so stupidly simply I wish we would have thought of it years earlier.

The faceplates/meter doors are now in their 28th year…. So for the most part, they have been great!
I love the idea of the push buttons with a 1 or 2 second delay between features to avoid abuse of the equipment (kids). Then when a customer is finished and chooses the "safety stop" or "pause" feature (great idea!), they're not sweeping past all of the other functions to get there. I would also love a sensor in the unloader/bypass to shut down the HP features and spot free after 10 seconds for when a customer drives off with time on the meter since these are usually the last features a customer uses besides the Shammee. That signal could be used to cancel a credit card transaction as well.
Thoughts?
