Article by Ken Noble, CEO at Washlinc: The challenge of growing from one car wash to ten isn’t just getting bigger. It’s staying consistent.
One location may be performing exactly as intended.
Another may be using more chemical.
Another may have an application that’s slowly drifted out of adjustment.
Another may have a manager who does things just a little differently.
Individually, these can seem like small issues.
Multiply them across 10, 20 or 50 locations and small inconsistencies can become significant operating expenses. That’s why Ken believes successful multi-site growth requires more than simply duplicating equipment, products and processes.
It requires a way to continually ask: Are all of our locations performing the way we think they are? The goal isn’t to make every tunnel identical. Every location has different equipment, water, volume and operating conditions. The goal is to understand those differences, establish what good performance looks like at each location, and keep them there.
Growth creates opportunity. Consistency protects the profitability of that growth. Better Chemistry. Better Process. Better Results.
