A white-label solution that eliminates revenue share fees, adds native marketing automation, and creates a new licensing revenue stream.
The car wash membership market has clear gaps that a custom platform can exploit.
Everwash takes 8% of gross revenue. A custom platform reduces fees to ~3% (payment processing only), keeping 5%+ more revenue per transaction.
No platform offers integrated SMS/email automation. Everwash users pay for OptSpot separately. Build it in from day one.
No competitor offers true white-labeling. Custom branding, domains, and app icons per operator create differentiation.
Mike's network touches more car washes than anyone. License the platform to other operators for recurring revenue.
Strategic Advantage: QWave Labs isn't just building a tool for one car wash - it's building a platform to dominate the car wash membership market through distribution and licensing.
An all-in-one ecosystem that handles everything from customer signup to automated retention campaigns.
Modern, scalable technology stack designed for rapid development and long-term maintainability.
Why This Stack: Supabase + Next.js + React Native is a proven combination for rapid MVP development. Stripe handles complex subscription logic. Twilio and Resend provide enterprise-grade messaging without the complexity.

ROI Note: The 5% revenue retained per location compounds significantly with multiple locations. Additional white-label licensing revenue can further accelerate returns.
Phased approach that delivers value early while building toward the complete vision.
Proactive strategies to minimize development and business risks.
Building a full platform requires significant development effort.
Members may resist switching from Everwash.
Subscription billing is complex with edge cases.
Everwash and others may improve their offerings.
Car wash membership adoption is accelerating. Early movers in white-label will capture the licensing market before competitors.
Supabase, React Native, and Stripe have matured to where building this platform is 50% faster than 3 years ago.
Mike's network provides immediate distribution channel that competitors can't replicate. First-mover advantage is real.
The 5% difference between Everwash's 8% and standard payment processing (3%) represents significant margin that could be retained with an alternative platform.
