Car wash owners using a self-serve coin system cannot accurately track income because quarters collected from washing are mixed with quarters dispensed as change from the coin machine, leading to counting errors and unreported revenue.

Existing coin-handling processes lack integration with accounting; there's no way to automatically separate income quarters from change quarters, forcing manual counting and leading to lost or misreported revenue.

Mobile dashboard for owners to view real-time revenue and cash flow

Target Users: Owners of self-serve or coin-operated car washes with 1-10 wash bays

Revenue Model: $49/mo per location, plus $199 one-time hardware kit for coin machine integration
