Zones: Organizing Your Car Wash

What Are Zones?

Zones are physical areas within your car wash site. Instead of listing equipment and chemicals in one long list, you organize them by where they are.

Examples of Zones

Common zones at a car wash:

• Self-Serve Bays — Bay 1, Bay 2, Bay 3...
• Express Tunnel — Entrance, Tunnel, Exit
• Equipment Room — Pumps, water systems
• Vacuum Lot — Vacuum stations
• Detail Area — Detailing bays

Creating a Zone

When you add equipment or chemicals, you'll see a Zone dropdown:

1. Click the Zone dropdown
2. Select an existing zone, OR
3. Click "+ Add new zone" to create one
4. Give it a name (e.g., "Self-Serve Bays")

Adding Locations Within a Zone

Each zone can have specific locations (spots):

Zone: Self-Serve Bays
  ├── Bay 1
  ├── Bay 2
  ├── Bay 3
  └── Bay 4

When adding equipment, after selecting a zone, you can:

1. Pick an existing location from the dropdown
2. Click "+ Add new location" to create one

How It Connects

Your Car Wash Site
  └── Zone: Self-Serve Bays
  │     ├── Location: Bay 1
  │     │     ├── Equipment: Coin Box #1
  │     │     └── Chemical: Presoak Tank
  │     └── Location: Bay 2
  │           └── Equipment: Coin Box #2
  └── Zone: Equipment Room
        └── Location: North Wall
              ├── Equipment: High Pressure Pump
              └── Equipment: RO System

Benefits of Using Zones

• Better organization — Find equipment faster
• Grouped views — See all items in one area together
• Easier audits — Walk through zone by zone
• Clearer assignments — Staff know exactly where to go

Tip

Create zones that match how you physically walk through your car wash. This makes daily checks more intuitive.
