Build your wash menu: packages and add-ons

Turn your car wash menu board into one-tap buttons: wash tiers as products, add-ons as modifiers, prices per location and colours for the pay station.

By Onboarding Desk · Updated

Short answer: create one product per wash tier, attach your add-ons to the tiers they belong to, set prices and tax, and put the best sellers first on the pay-station screen.

Steps

  1. Create a category called “Washes” (and “Detailing”, “Retail” if you sell them).
  2. Add a product for each tier: Basic, Deluxe, Ultimate. Give each a short name that fits on a button, a price, the tax group and a photo for the online store.
  3. Create a modifier set called “Add-ons” with tire shine, ceramic, interior and anything else you upsell, each with its price.
  4. Attach the modifier set to the tiers it belongs with. Interior add-ons can go on detailing products only.
  5. Mark which products are for sale online. Fleet-only items can stay off the store.
  6. Open the POS screen and check the order of the buttons. Put the tier you most want to sell where the thumb lands.

Tips from the lane

  • Three or four tiers sell better than six.
  • Price the club next to every tier on your board and at the pay station.
  • Run a seasonal add-on (pollen, bugs, monsoon mud) and switch it off afterwards.

Questions about this step

Should add-ons be products or modifiers?

Use modifiers for extras that only make sense with a wash (tire shine, ceramic). Use products for things sold on their own (air fresheners, towels, gift cards).

How do I set different prices at two sites?

Create a selling price group for the second site, set its prices, and assign it to that location.

Can I import the menu from a spreadsheet?

Yes, through the product import. Send the sheet to the onboarding desk and they will do it for you during the trial.
