These systems are specialized point-of-sale devices designed for automated car washes. They facilitate payment processing for various wash packages and services, often incorporating features like bill and coin acceptors, credit/debit card readers, and sometimes even mobile payment options. An example includes a touchscreen interface at a self-service bay, allowing customers to select their desired wash cycle and pay directly at the station.
The incorporation of these terminals streamlines operations, reduces the need for on-site staff, and offers customers a convenient and efficient payment experience. Historically, car washes relied on attendants or token systems. The shift to electronic terminals represents a significant upgrade, providing enhanced security, improved accounting accuracy, and the ability to offer tiered pricing structures and loyalty programs. This ultimately leads to increased revenue and customer satisfaction.
