Auto Sentry Main Options Buttons

Depending on how you configure your WashConnect®, the main options menu can be set up to display up to five out of the eight Purchase buttons.  These are the descriptions of the eight buttons:

  1. Buy Wash with cash or card button. Used to purchase wash if credit cards are accepted.
    –or–
    Buy Wash button. Used to purchase wash if credit cards are not accepted.
  2. Join Wash Club button. Used to sign up customers in a wash.
  3. Buy Gift Card button. Used to purchase a gift card. (A Gift Card dispenser is required for this feature and can be purchased for an additional fee if you would like to dispense Gift Cards at the Auto Sentry.)
  4. Buy Wash Card button. Used to purchase a Wash Card. (A Card dispenser is not required for this feature but can be purchased for an additional fee if you would like to use the Card dispenser to dispense Wash Book Customer Card at the Auto Sentry. Otherwise, the barcode and Wash Card number prints at the bottom of the customer’s receipt.)
  5. Wash Code button. A wash code is unique and cannot be reused after its redeemed. The wash code button is used to enter a 5-digit paid ticket code from the fuel pump. (5-digit wash codes are generated randomly from the fuel pump interface and include an expiration date.) You can set up a paid or unpaid 6-digit wash code from site level login, or a Global six-digit unpaid wash codes generated from Corporate.
  6. Coupon Code button. Used to enter a three- four- or five-digit coupon code. (A PLU needs to be created for the coupon and the PLU number is the Coupon Code. A Profile needs to be created for the Coupon, activate with a valid schedule, and enable Profile. Coupon numbers are great for newspaper ads because many people can use the same code.)
  7. Fund Raiser Code button. Used to purchase a wash through a coupon code that is set up in the system so sales can be tracked and easily be able to determine the donation amount to forward to the charity or organization. Set up a valid Coupon profile.
  8. Pay Attendant button. This button is used to give payment directly to car wash attendant instead of payment terminal. (Pay Attendant Button is not usually enabled for in-bay automatic sites.) This button was designed if customer has questions and needs to ask attendant before purchasing a wash. A receipt will print and customer takes it to the tunnel attendant where the attendant completes the wash purchase. After paying attendant, the vehicle will be added to the stack.) This button has mostly been replaced with an intercom system where the Attendant can answer or help customer with the use of the intercom speaker directly at the Auto Sentry.

Up to five of these buttons can appear on the main options WashConnect® touch screen but they will always appear in the following order:
