# POS System for Car Washes and Detailing Shops in Kenya

POS for car washes and detailing shops in Kenya

Do you know what sold today, and who sold it?

Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that.

**In this guide you will see:**

- Washes are counted by attendants, not by a system.
- Prices differ by vehicle type and are applied inconsistently.
- Attendant commission is calculated by hand.

Quick answer

A car wash runs on many small cash payments across several attendants. Without a record per vehicle, the cash that reaches the owner can be lower than the work done.
