The operating system for the car wash industry

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building software that helps car wash operators manage their businesses more efficiently. Our platform replaces outdated, expensive systems with modern tools for scheduling, payments, customer subscriptions, and inventory. It's designed specifically for SMB operators to grow their business and reduce friction.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Temecula, CA, and after YC we'll base the company here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We've built early traction in Temecula's car wash market, and being local lets us work closely with operators and understand their needs. It also keeps costs low and communications efficient for now.
