WashLevel Sidecar is a Safari extension that bolts onto the platforms car wash operators already run — Dencar, CryptoPay, or both — and turns raw data into the numbers you actually make decisions with. You check your sites every morning. Sidecar checks everything else. REVENUE & RETAIL Revenue across every site on one screen — today, yesterday, week-to-date, month-to-date, year-over-year, with live month-end projections. Retail dollars per wash with membership billing stripped out, so you see what single-wash customers actually paid. Wash tier mix breakdown, per-device revenue breakdowns, capture rates, and day-of-week baselines that catch the days quietly underperforming. MEMBERS & CHURN Churn risk scoring from each member's own usage history — gone dormant, washing less, new signups who never came back. Cohort retention curves, net member gain/loss by month, and real washes per member adjusted for tenure. Incomplete signup tracking with days-to-renewal countdowns. CUSTOMERS & LICENSE PLATES License plate tracking across locations — return visit frequency and cross-site overlap. Repeat customer analysis for your single-wash regulars. New membership conversion tracking and credit card-based repeat visit identification. VIA GUARD A trigger-or-close recommendation on every Dencar VIA exception — based on actual wash usage, plate match confidence, and past behavior. One-click trigger or close without leaving the page, with override reasons, auto-dismiss rules, and full decision history. WEATHER & FORECASTING Weather-adjusted revenue projections that separate what weather did from what your operation did. 10-day forecast overlay, seasonal modeling built from your own data, and post-rain/post-snow bounce tracking. WASH CODES Bulk wash code generation with tier selection and expiration dates. Full redemption tracking with time-to-redemption charts and tier breakdowns. Printable code cards. HOW IT WORKS Sidecar uses your existing Dencar and CryptoPay sessions — no new passwords, no data exports, no API keys. Sync pulls your data into your device's local storage. Your wash data never leaves your device and is never uploaded to WashLevel. $29/month — every location on your login, no per-site fee. 7-day free trial, cancel anytime. Subscribe at washlevel.com/sidecar. Works with Dencar only, CryptoPay only, or both together. Also available for Chrome. WashLevel Sidecar is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Dencar, Sanc Soft, or CryptoPay.
