Car Wash: Every Vehicle, Every Shift, Every Shilling

A trade app that records each wash as it happens, so the day's takings and the day's work can be checked against each other.

The gap in most car washes is not effort. It is that forty washes and forty washes worth of money are two different facts, and only one of them gets counted.

What the app is built around

The individual wash. Each vehicle is recorded as it comes through with the service performed, the price and the washer who did the work. The day is then the sum of real entries rather than a figure remembered at closing.

What it helps you see

  • Washes against takings, so a shortfall is visible the same day
  • Service mix — which packages actually sell, and which are ignored
  • Washer productivity, without anyone needing to be accused of anything
  • Busy hours and dead hours, which is what staffing should be built on

Where it changes a decision

Shift handover stops being an argument. When the shift's entries and the shift's cash are both on the screen, the conversation is about a specific difference rather than a general suspicion — and most differences turn out to be an unrecorded discount or a free extra rather than anything worse.

What it is not

It does not manage your water supply or your staff for you. It gives you the record that makes those decisions arguable.

Price and fit

Car Wash is $20 a month. On Knomart you pay for the apps you install — a yard running this one pays $20, and each additional app adds its own listed price.

It suits a yard doing enough volume that memory has stopped being reliable, especially one running more than one shift.
