Car wash queue management on one board
Every car checked in goes onto the forecourt board: waiting, being washed, ready, paid, handed over. Anyone at the counter sees what is next and how long each car has waited, and the customer is told when theirs is ready.

The queue, at a glance
Each car on the board shows its plate, the customer, the services, who is washing it and how long it has been waiting. Cars move along as the work is done, and the counter cannot hand a car over unpaid unless a manager allows it or it is on an account.
Fewer customers walking away
When the queue grows, customers leave. Suds keeps the times of every step, so you can see your busy hours and how long cars wait, and add a washer where it counts. A real report from a business that uses Suds found customers leaving once the queue reached six to ten cars; see the monthly performance report.
Tell the customer, not shout
When a car is ready, the customer can get a WhatsApp or SMS message, so they can wait in the shade or come back. See loyalty and WhatsApp and the car wash management system.
