One QR code, printed once per bay, not one poster shared across all of them
Print and place QR posters across multiple wash bays by downloading the same QR code from the dashboard's poster tool once, then printing a separate copy for each bay rather than relying on customers to walk to a single shared poster. For a five-bay wash, that's typically five bay-entrance posters plus one at the till and one at the exit — seven prints of the identical code, not seven different codes.
The reasoning is the same as single-location poster placement, just multiplied: a customer sitting in their car at bay three shouldn't have to get out and walk to a poster at bay one. Put the code where they already are, at every bay, and scanning becomes nearly frictionless.
Because it's the same underlying QR code everywhere, there's no dashboard complexity in doing this — you're not creating five separate cards or five separate programs, just printing one design multiple times.
Bay posters need to survive outdoor conditions better than a till poster does
A poster at the till is usually indoors or under cover; a poster at each bay entrance often isn't, which means it takes more sun, dust, and occasional water spray. Laminate every bay poster, and consider a small weatherproof stand or holder rather than tape, since tape degrades faster outdoors in Saudi summer heat.
Check bay posters more often than the till poster for fading or dust buildup — a QR code that's technically still there but too faded or dirty to scan is worse than no poster at all, since staff may assume it's working when it isn't.
- One poster per bay entrance, plus one at the till — not a single shared poster
- Laminate bay posters; they take more sun and water exposure than a till poster
- Use a small weatherproof stand or holder rather than tape for bays exposed to the elements
- Check bay posters weekly for fade or dust buildup, more often than an indoor till poster
Poster count by wash size
Scale the print run to your actual bay count — most washes need surprisingly few unique designs, just more copies.
| Wash size | Bay posters | Till/exit posters | Total prints |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-bay wash | 1 | 1 (till) + 1 (exit) | 3 |
| 3-bay wash | 3 | 1 (till) + 1 (exit) | 5 |
| 5-bay wash | 5 | 1 (till) + 1 (exit) | 7 |
Print and place them in five steps
This scales linearly — the setup effort per bay is identical, just repeated.
- Download the QR poster once
The same design and code work for every bay.
- Print one copy per bay plus till and exit
For a five-bay wash, that's seven total prints.
- Laminate every outdoor-facing copy
Bay posters especially, given sun and dust exposure.
- Mount each on a stand or holder at eye level
Positioned where a customer sits in the car or stands waiting.
- Check every poster weekly
Replace any that show fading, dust buildup, or physical damage.
This scales inside the Free plan too, up to a point
Printing more posters costs nothing extra on any plan — it's just paper and lamination — and works identically on Free. The actual plan constraint for a multi-bay wash is more likely to be the customer or branch ceiling than anything poster-related: Free covers 1 branch and 100 customers, which a busy multi-bay single-location wash can reach quickly regardless of how many posters are up.
What multiple posters don't solve on their own
More posters increase the chances a customer sees and scans one, but they don't replace the attendant's scripted ask at the till, and they don't add a stamp automatically — Waya has no POS or till integration, so a staff member still scans each enrolled card by hand after the wash.
Treat the multi-bay poster rollout as raising the ceiling on how many people notice the program, while the attendant's ask and consistent scanning remain what actually converts that awareness into enrolled, returning customers.
Frequently asked questions
Does a multi-bay car wash need a different QR code for each bay?
No — the same QR code works everywhere. Print multiple copies of the identical code, one per bay plus the till and exit, rather than creating separate codes or cards.
How many posters does a five-bay car wash need?
Typically seven: one at each of the five bays, one at the till, and one at the exit lane — all the same design and code.
Should bay posters be laminated differently from a till poster?
Yes — bay posters are usually more exposed to sun, dust, and water spray, so laminating them and checking for fading weekly matters more than for an indoor till poster.
Does printing more posters cost extra on Waya?
No — printing is unlimited and free on every plan, including Free. The actual constraint for a busy multi-bay wash is more likely the 100-customer or 1-branch ceiling on Free.
Do more posters mean more stamps get added automatically?
No. Waya has no POS or till integration, so posters only help with enrollment — a staff member still scans each card by hand to add a stamp after the wash.
