3. Negotiate lower operating costs (water, detergents, outsourced electricity where possible) and measure cost per vehicle daily
4. Differentiate with speed guarantees, quality checklists, and visible before/after results to lift conversion among existing competitors
5. Track daily KPIs (vehicles/day, average ticket, labor hours, water use) and adjust staffing and pricing weekly
