How it works

From a driver tapping "Shower" to a clean bay resetting itself — every step.

No part of this flow needs a person standing behind a counter. Here's exactly what happens, in order, and what's running behind it.

The full sequence

Six steps, start to reset

This is the same sequence for every driver, every time — whether it's a slow Tuesday or the line is out the door at 4am.

01

Check-in at the kiosk

Driver pays at the kiosk — cash, card, or loyalty account. Phone or email is optional, only used if they want a text when their bay's ready.

Bay assignment & code

The system checks which bays are clean and open right now, assigns the next one, and generates a one-time code tied to that driver and that bay only.

03

Driver is called

Bay number and code announce over the PA, and go to the driver's phone too if they left a number. No standing around watching a screen.

Code unlocks the door

Driver walks to bay 06, types the code into the keypad. Only that door — bound to that code — unlocks. Every other bay stays locked.

Session runs its course

If a code never gets used, the bay flags itself after a set window instead of sitting locked and wasted — staff sees it on the dashboard, not from a driver complaint.

Reset & back in rotation

Once staff marks the bay cleaned, it goes straight back into the pool for the next driver. No re-keying, no re-badging, nothing to reset by hand.

Behind the scenes

What's actually running at the location

Every piece lives on-site and talks over a wired connection — nothing critical depends on your internet staying up or a wireless signal reaching the far end of the building.

Front counter

Kiosk

Hardwired terminal where drivers check in and pay. Wired, not wifi — one less thing that can drop a connection.

Back office

Control server

Runs bay assignment, code generation, and the live dashboard. Comes back up on its own after a power cycle.

Every bay door

Door controller

A dedicated controller per door reads the keypad and drives the lock directly — no shared point of failure between bays.

On the door

Keypad & lock

Wired keypad, fail-safe strike. Loses power, door still behaves the way your fire code expects it to.

Your office

Live dashboard

See every bay's status — occupied, cleaning, open, flagged — without walking the hallway to check.

The difference

What changes at the counter

Same bays, same drivers — just nobody has to hand out a key or chase down who has bay 6's card.
