How to run your car wash business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
A car wash takes cash and transfers all day for small amounts, and the washers change shifts. The day's total should match the cars washed.
TheCEOApp records each wash in a tap.
A wash in one tap
Add saloon, SUV, interior and engine washes with their prices, and record each one as it's paid.
Car care products
Sell air fresheners and tyre shine from stock on the same receipt.
Who did what
Each staff member signs in, so every wash shows who recorded it.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example air freshener, car shampoo and tyre shine, and services like car wash (saloon), car wash (SUV) and interior cleaning. Suggestions for a car wash come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by wash and car. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. You can record each product's part number, so you know exactly what is on the shelf.

- Jobs, step by step: Track each job from deposit to handover, one step at a time, with costs and profit.
