Lounge board
The moment a car is checked in, it appears on the TV in your waiting area. Customers watch it move from Waiting to Washing to Ready. Nobody walks to the counter to ask where their car is.

Carpets, sofas, curtains, blanketsBefore Carwosh, every Saturday ended with a heated payout discussion. Washers couldn't agree on which cars they'd done, and we were counting tallies on scrap paper at 6 PM. Now, every cut is saved the moment a car is marked ready. My team trusts the number. I trust the number. That alone was worth the switch.

Every plate has a visit counter. Six washes in, the customer gets a free-wash text. Thirty quiet days, a nudge goes out. Nothing to set up — it runs from the first check-in.
Try it on a real Saturday. Keep it only if the counter gets quieter.
One site. Every car tracked. Every washer paid without a fight at the till.
For owners running more than one branch or a large team. Most owners start with Pro.
Both plans start with a 7-day free trial. After that, we'll send you an invoice — no automatic charges, no contract.
Pricing shown in KES. Pro is approximately $11 USD / £9 GBP per month.

Do I need to buy a TV?
Any TV or monitor works. Plug an HDMI cable from your office machine to the TV in the waiting area and open the board URL on that machine. It refreshes automatically every few seconds. No special hardware required.
What happens when the 7-day trial ends?
We'll reach out with an invoice. There is no automatic charge. If you decide Carwosh is not for you, just stop — no cancellation form, no pressure.
Can I cancel at any time?
There is no subscription and no contract. You pay when invoiced, which only happens if you choose to continue after the trial.
Which number sends the WhatsApp messages to my customers?
By default, messages go out from Carwosh's own number — nothing to set up. If you already have a WhatsApp Business account or an SMS line and want messages to come from your own number, you can plug in your own credentials in settings. Your customers will see your wash name instead of ours. If you need help connecting your SMS setup, we'll do it for you at no charge.
Does Carwosh work outside Kenya?
Yes. The problems Carwosh solves — queue confusion, payout disputes, customers asking if their car is ready — are the same in Nairobi, Johannesburg, London, and Kampala. Carwosh was built after watching how busy car washes actually operate. That experience is from Kenya, but the problems are universal. Pricing adapts to your market.
How does payout tracking work?
When a cashier marks a car ready, Carwosh records which washer did the job and applies their commission rate to the car price. That entry is saved immediately — no end-of-day reconciliation from memory. At close, download the CSV: washer name, cars done, rate, and amount owed. Every line is traceable back to a specific plate.
Can Carwosh handle carpet cleaning and upholstery orders?
Yes. Carpet, sofa, curtain, and blanket orders run through the same system as car wash jobs. Create a laundry order with items and measurements, price by the metre, and the customer gets a WhatsApp or SMS at each stage. Pickup and delivery are tracked in the same order. No separate system needed.
The board runs. Texts go out. Washers get paid without a 6 PM argument. Carpets and sofas too.
