Car Wash Greeter Training Checklist
The checklist (11 items)
Written as observable actions, so two trainers scoring the same shift land in the same place. In CrewSharp this is the Greeter checklist in the Car wash / Quick auto starter set, filed under Lot, and every item here is editable.

What usually goes wrong
Staying out of the path of moving cars and wearing a high-visibility vest are the critical items. Explaining the membership price and how to cancel is the required one, because a member who signed up without understanding the charge comes back angry.
The items a good total should not outweigh
- Stayed out of the path of moving cars
- Wore a high-visibility vest in the lane
When to sign someone off
A workable bar for this checklist: no critical items missed, a score above a line you set for Greeter specifically rather than one number for the whole building, and observed on more than one shift with at least one of them busy. Then date it, so it can expire.
That last part is the one people skip. A sign-off with no date cannot be re-checked, which means a year later you have a record that says somebody was ready once.
Checklists that pair with this one
Someone trained on this one most often covers these alongside it, which makes them the sensible second checklist to train.
Common questions
How do you train membership sales without slowing the lane?
Start with a question about how often they wash the car, then fit the answer to a plan. The lane slows when the pitch is a speech. It keeps moving when the greeter asks one question and offers the one plan that fits.
What should be on a car wash greeter checklist?
The 11 items above cover it: walked up to cars in line with a friendly greeting, asked how often the customer washes their car, explained the difference between the packages, and the rest of the list. Keep it in that range. Fewer and a pass proves very little; many more and trainers stop finishing it during a real shift.
Which items should count as critical?
On this checklist, 2 items are marked critical: stayed out of the path of moving cars; wore a high-visibility vest in the lane. Missing one means not ready, regardless of the total score, because these are the failures that cannot be corrected after the fact.
Scoring it is the part that lasts
Run this Greeter checklist on a tablet between rushes and CrewSharp keeps the rest: who is signed off, when it was last checked, and which item your crew misses most.
