Auto Sentry® flex User Manual 154 Marketing with your Auto Sentry
Setting up your Wash Club Menu
Customers who join an unlimited wash club provide a credit card that will automatically be
charged a flat fee every month, and in return, receive unlimited washes for that specific vehicle.
This example outlines the process for multi-site clubs using Auto Sentry® flex. The organization
includes two sites. First, set up your Sales Item PLU numbers for your retail wash menu services
and extra service items. After you created the Retail wash menu, you can follow these steps in
order to prepare your club membership menu:
Tip Wash clubs are based on your existing wash menu, and it may be easier to name the clubs
accordingly.
I. Retail Wash Menu
If necessary, setup the retail wash services menu items first.
II.Setup the Club's Base Wash Redemption PLU
Redeem Value is the dollar amount of the assigned base wash, for example,
-$5.00. For every wash club, a Wash Club Redemption PLU Sales Item is needed to complete the
Wash Club Package. The Wash Club Redemption PLU offsets the charges against the club's Base
Wash in the Club Package, allowing the amount due to be $0 since the customer has already paid
for the wash in the club membership fee. When the vehicle returns for a wash, the customer does
not get charged again, but the club redemption PLU allows the wash to advance the vehicle
without charging them, and tracks the vehicle's redeemed washes. Creating the package allows
the base wash to be selected to turn on the services in the tunnel.
NOTE: The Redemption PLU provides a means to redeem the wash without affecting the sales
per car totals.
