Car wash step 2: wash packages and add-ons

Your wash menu has three layers: packages (Express Basic to Ultimate, Full Service Classic to Premium), add-ons (tire shine, bug prep, interior protectant) and detailing services that take hours. Retail items such as air fresheners and drinks sit next to them on the same POS.

Before you start

• Services and Bookings are on (step 1).
• Create categories that become POS tabs: Express Tunnel, Full Service, Add-ons, Detailing, Wash Club, Retail.

Express packages: products without stock

1. Open Products › Add Product.
2. Name it as on your menu board, for example “Express Wash – Shine”. Category Express Tunnel.
3. Untick Manage Stock?. Enter the price and tax. Save.
4. Repeat for each package and each add-on (category Add-ons).

Full service: one price per vehicle size

1. Open Products › Add Product and choose Product Type Variable.
2. Add a variation Vehicle size with values Car / Sedan, Small SUV / Crossover and Large SUV / Truck / Minivan (create it once in Products › Variations to reuse it).
3. Enter a price for each size. Untick Manage Stock?. Save.

At the till, tapping the package opens a small window with the three sizes and their prices.

Detailing: services with a duration

1. Open Services › Services and click Add service (or Import prebuilt).
2. Enter the Service name (for example Interior Detail – Small SUV / Crossover), Price, Duration (min) (150) and Clean-up after (min).
3. Tick the crew members who perform it (you can also do this per staff member in step 3).
4. Tick Bookable online if customers may book it on your booking page, and set an online deposit if you want one. Save.

Services › Services: each detail with its duration, price, crew and online status. Each service is also a product without stock.

Retail items

Air fresheners, towels, glass cleaner and drinks are ordinary products with stock. Receive them with Purchases › Add Purchase so the POS shows how many are left.

Tips and mistakes to avoid

• Keep the POS tabs in the same order as your menu board; cashiers find packages faster.
• Use clear size names; they print on the receipt.
• Don’t add express washes as services unless you book them; they would clutter the booking page.
