Opening day for your car wash on TtaKkaa: services, add-on products, loyalty points, and the first invoice
This guide is for a car wash owner opening on TtaKkaa. A car wash sells two kinds of things at the same counter: services (exterior wash, interior cleaning, polish) and products (air fresheners, cleaning sprays, wipers). TtaKkaa handles both on one invoice. Everything below is in the product today.
Step 1: Sign up and choose "Car wash"
Sign up at store.ttakka.store with your phone number, enter the verification code, and choose "Car wash" as your business type. This gives you a straightforward retail setup: products, inventory, orders, reports, and barcodes, without restaurant tools like tables or the kitchen screen. The first-setup wizard then covers your logo, your first branch and its hours, your products, and how you receive orders.
Step 2: Register your services
From "Menu & products", create categories that match how customers order, for example "Exterior", "Interior", "Full wash", and "Polish & protection". Then add each service as a product with a clear name and price, such as "Exterior wash, sedan" and "Exterior wash, SUV". If the price depends on the car size, a separate line per size keeps the cashier fast and the reports clear.
Services have no recipe or ingredient stock, so they stay available on the cashier. If a service is paused for the day (a machine is down, for example), put it on the stop list from the dashboard and set the time it comes back.
Step 3: Register the products you sell
Add the retail items you keep on the shelf with their barcodes and stock. If you have many, import them from a spreadsheet. If an item has no barcode, print barcode labels for it from the dashboard, a batch at a time.
Step 4: Customers and loyalty points
Car washes depend on regulars, so collect the customer's phone number from day one. On the cashier you can add a new customer with a name and phone number in a few seconds. Then, from "Loyalty & tax" in the dashboard, turn on the points program and set how many points each currency unit earns. You can also turn on a welcome bonus for new customers and a birthday bonus.
Step 5: Printing and the drawer
- Set up the receipt from "Branches & devices" then "Invoices & printers", and check the preview.
- Connect the receipt printer on the cashier over Bluetooth or the network, and plug in a barcode scanner for the products.
- Open a shift and enter the cash in the drawer.
Step 6: The first invoice
- When the car is done, tap the service on the cashier. Add any product the customer picked up by tapping or scanning it.
- Attach the customer by phone number so the points are added.
- Take payment by cash or another method your store has enabled, and print the receipt.
Refunds and voids ask for the manager PIN. If the internet drops, the cashier keeps selling offline and syncs when it returns.
Step 7: Closing the day
If you paid from the drawer during the day (soap, cloths, a day worker), record it on the cashier as a cash pay-out on the open shift. At closing, close the shift and read the Z report. In the dashboard reports, you can see which services sold most during the day.

Can customers book a wash time in advance through TtaKkaa?
Not for car washes today. Appointment booking in TtaKkaa is part of the salon tools. A car wash on TtaKkaa records each wash as a sale on the cashier when the car is done.
How do I reward regular customers?
Turn on loyalty points from "Loyalty & tax" in the dashboard. Every invoice linked to the customer's phone number adds points automatically.
