How car wash businesses can track daily money

Car wash businesses can track service income, staff payments, water, supplies, rent, Cash and M-PESA.

A car wash may receive many small payments during the day. Some customers pay Cash, others use M-PESA. The business also has costs such as water, soap, staff payments, rent, security, equipment and repairs.

If daily sales and expenses are not recorded, the owner may not know whether the car wash is actually profitable after paying staff and running costs.

Busy weekends can be especially confusing if several workers handle payments.

What to track

  • Cash payments.
  • M-PESA payments.
  • Number of cars or services if useful.
  • Staff payments.
  • Water and soap costs.
  • Rent or space fees.
  • Equipment repairs.
