How to Setup a New Added Service

Added services are extra services that customers can select to supplement their wash purchase  (Rain X, Tire Shine, etc.). You may add as many new added services as you wish to the Products list, but only (4) may be assigned to each wash package. The added services will be offered as an upgrade when a wash package is selected on the operational screen of the unit. Added services may also dispense a token (for onsite vacuums, etc). An added service will typically require your wash controller to accept additional inputs, therefore, you should first contact your car wash servicer to confirm that your wash equipment will accommodate this feature.

 The process for setting up a new added service is: 

  1. Setup/edit a Product through the Setup function of the Sierra management system.
  2. Add the added services to the Added Service Dispensing function of the device profile.  Note — it may be necessary to install additional wires from the kiosk to the car wash controller to accommodate the inputs for added service selections.
  3. Add the added services to each wash package in the Wash Dispensing function of the device profile.
  4. Download the device profile.
