Most people who help design and equip restaurants never spent a night on the line themselves. In Episode 226 of On The Delo, Delo sits down with longtime friend Justin McCallister, Owner of Arizona Restaurant Consulting (AZRC), to talk about a career that started in a culinary school kitchen and grew into a full design-build firm behind restaurants, hotels, gas stations, and commercial kitchens across Arizona and beyond.Justin shares his journey from cooking at the original Mastro's Steakhouse and Kona Grill to spending 17 years in restaurant equipment sales and design before taking the leap to launch Arizona Restaurant Consulting in 2016. This year marks AZRC's 10th anniversary, making it the perfect time to look back on the lessons learned from a decade of designing, equipping, and building restaurants.The conversation dives into recent projects including Terrible's gas stations, a Hilton Squaw Peak remodel, and a challenging build for Freeport-McMoRan, along with what it really takes - from budgeting and design to equipment, permitting, and installation - to turn an empty gray shell into a fully operational restaurant.Justin also shares his philosophy on referrals and marketing, why he'd rather be the hub of the wheel than wear every hat himself, and the personal side of running a business for a decade, including bringing his wife on as a full partner after 28 years of marriage.Whether you're opening your first restaurant, remodeling an existing concept, or simply want a behind-the-scenes look at how successful hospitality projects come together, this episode is packed with practical insights from someone who's helped build them.Chapter Guide (Timestamps)(0:14 - 1:13) Welcome Back and Justin's First Time in the Office(1:13 - 3:37) From Missouri to Culinary School: Mastro's and Kona Grill(3:37 - 4:42) Finding a Niche in Restaurant Equipment Sales and Design(4:42 - 5:47) Taking the Leap: Founding AZRC in 2016(5:47 - 7:07) 10 Years of Growth and Launching AZRC Installations(7:07 - 9:50) Proud Projects: Terrible's Gas Stations and the $200K Walk-In(9:50 - 11:28) Current Projects: Hilton Squaw Peak and Jackson's Car Wash(11:28 - 13:00) Learning AutoCAD and Becoming a Design-Build Hybrid(13:00 - 15:11) Marketing as the Hub of the Wheel(15:11 - 17:10) Working Outside Arizona: DC, California, and Beyond(17:10 - 20:12) What It Really Takes to Open a Restaurant(20:12 - 22:44) Being an Equipment Reseller and Owning the Hard Conversations(22:44 - 25:51) Arizona's 2026 Market and the Freeport-McMoRan Challenge(25:51 - 28:11) Non-Negotiables, Family, and Bringing His Wife on Board(28:11 - 29:57) Where to Find Justin and AZRC(29:57 - 32:29) Rapid Fire and Delo's Close

You hired somebody to protect the number. He's protecting it.He's also cutting the things that were going to pay you next spring, and he has no idea he's doing it. From where he sits, every one of those cuts was the responsible call.He's not the problem. What he was never told is the problem.There's a sentence most car wash owners have never said out loud, and until you say it, your team is making decisions with half the information. Not because they're careless. Because you're the only one who can see where this is going.In this episode, I'll show you the three places this quietly costs operators every year, why the number you check most often is the one hiding the most damage, and what that one sentence actually sounds like when you say it to a GM, to a manager, and to the guy at the pay station on a Saturday.Ten minutes.

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Kyle Alexander catches up with John Olert, CEO of American Car Wash Solutions. Recorded at The Car Wash Show™ in Nashville, the conversation covers what drew Olert to the company, why he saw a gap in the market and how an operator-led perspective is driving a different kind of carwash equipment innovation at American Car Wash Solutions.  Olert discusses the company's competitive approach — prioritizing stainless steel durability, transparency with customers and service responsiveness over sheer booth size or brand recognition. He also introduces the Product Innovation Council, a formal advisory structure that channels ideas from longtime industry operators into American's next product developments.  Looking ahead, Olert outlines near-term priorities including digitized parts catalogs, user-friendly manuals and a forthcoming e-commerce store designed to make parts ordering faster and easier for operators. He also flags water reclaim systems and smart motor control technology as the two areas of carwash equipment innovation he sees having the greatest impact across the industry.

While most people find automatic car washes satisfying, for Simon Barnett, driving into one is an absolute claustrophobic nightmare!

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Kyle Alexander is joined by Phil Marquart, founder of Dencar and operator of United Auto Wash, and Robert Greene, owner of Georgia's Car Wash Express at The Car Wash Show™. The conversation covers unattended carwash membership technology and how it's transforming the self-serve and in-bay automatic segments. Marquart traces the origins of Dencar to a frustration he faced as an operator: No existing payment technology could sell a membership at an unattended in-bay automatic site directly through the kiosk interface. After a failed partnership with an outside vendor, he built the solution himself and has spent the past eight years refining it with operators like Greene.Greene shares his own journey from building a multi-format mega site in 2008 to spending years unable to extend membership programs beyond his attended express tunnel locations. After discovering Dencar at The Car Wash Show™ in 2022, he began a full rollout that now spans all nine of his coastal Georgia sites. The result: More than 600 new members added in 2026 alone across established locations, with zero on-site staff required to sell or manage them. The episode covers how Dencar's site-level membership model allows customers to bundle self-serve bays, in-bay automatics and vacuum stations into a single program.The conversation looks ahead to the next phase for both companies: deeper integration with marketing platforms to add drip campaigns and outbound lead generation to what is already a capable unattended carwash membership technology stack.

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Kyle Alexander talks to Brice Scholz of UniFiX about the company's carwash maintenance platform and how it's helping operators keep tunnels running and members satisfied. Scholz traces UniFiX's roots back to its work as an internal ticketing tool built for a 136-location gym operator in 2019 and explains how those same asset-management principles now serve 27 carwashes across the country.   Scholz discusses how the platform was designed for simplicity on the frontline while remaining robust on the backend. He explains how UniFiX evaluates each ticket for completeness, prompting users for missing details before surfacing recommended troubleshooting steps, parts lists and manufacturer video guides directly to technicians. The conversation also covers predictive maintenance, including how ticket history and preventive-maintenance timing can flag recurring problems.   Looking at unmanned sites, Scholz explains how customers can scan a QR code to submit a service request when an issue arises, with certain triggers — such as a tunnel outage — automatically generating phone, text and email alerts to operators. He closes by outlining UniFiX's plan to deepen its carwash maintenance platform through new partnerships while remaining focused solely on serving the carwash industry rather than expanding into other verticals.

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Kyle Alexander sits down with Tim Hogue of Modernwash to explore why carwash building design deserves as much attention as chemistry, branding and equipment. Hogue explains that the structure itself is often a customer's first interaction with a business, shaping perceptions of quality before a vehicle ever enters the tunnel.Hogue breaks down the costliest mistakes operators make before construction even begins, pointing to poor site layouts, tight turning radiuses and rushed planning among design professionals who fail to communicate. He also outlines how future-proofing a site helps operators scale equipment and storage as demand grows over a 10- to 15-year horizon rather than a typical five-year window.The conversation closes with Hogue's perspective on why some carwash building projects clear city approval faster than others. He credits thorough, code-compliant permit submissions and direct communication with city officials as the keys to avoiding delays. He urges operators, new and experienced alike, to build a strong design team and start preparing early to help their carwash building design stand apart from the competition.

Most car wash operators put real money into getting customers to the lot. Then they hand those customers over to signs, screens, and staff interactions that work against your revenue.Every touchpoint from the moment a customer turns in is doing marketing. Most of it is doing it badly by default.In this episode, OptSpot's CMO, Josh Taylor, walks through the on-site moments that are either winning customers over or letting them slip — and what it looks like when they actually work.- Why your signs are already selling, whether you designed them that way or not- What the pay station screen is costing you every day- The one thing your team says, or doesn't say, that changes the sale- How to treat every on-site moment as a marketing asset

Most car wash operators post on social media for months and never see it turn into new members. The problem usually isn't how often you post. It's whose story you're telling.In this episode, I break down the five types of posts that actually build a following for a car wash — and why the accounts that get real engagement are telling a completely different story.- Why transformation stories outperform everything else- The five post types and when to use each one- Why your first line determines whether anyone sees the rest- What it actually looks like to build familiarity and trust on social

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Kyle Alexander sits down with Brian Mattingly of WelcomeMat to unpack the fast-moving world of carwash digital marketing. Recorded at The Car Wash Show™, the conversation digs into a counterintuitive reality: Despite the rise of AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT and Claude, Google searches hit an all-time high in Q1 2026. Mattingly explains why that makes showing up in local carwash searches more critical than ever and what signals now determine whether an operator appears in results.  Mattingly breaks down the 12% cost-per-click increase operators are seeing across Google and Meta, the steepest rise since 2021, and shares how top-performing brands are hedging against it. The episode also explores how WelcomeMat's smart traffic system continuously adapts creative to match audience behavior in real time.  The conversation closes with a strong case for email as the highest-ROI channel in carwash digital marketing today. Mattingly outlines how operators can build first-party data strategies that combine targeted email campaigns with SMS, using each channel for its ideal purpose — email for relationship building and brand affinity, text for timely, weather-aware reminders.

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Meagan Kusek sits down with Harry Caruso, founder of Car Wash Advisory, for a candid assessment of where carwash mergers and acquisitions stand heading into the back half of 2026. Recorded live at The Car Wash Show™, the conversation opens with Caruso's frank take on the current deal environment: Transaction counts are on pace to be the lowest in about a decade, not because the industry is less attractive, but because it has matured past the frenzied growth phase of recent years.  Caruso explains that many of the most active buyers from the last decade are now approaching the end of their investment horizons and pulling back. At the same time, a large share of the best-performing carwashes have already been acquired, and newer sites haven't yet built the track record needed to be acquirable at scale. He notes that for operators with five to 15 sites considering a sale, the message is straightforward: The window is open now and conditions are unlikely to improve over the next two years.  The episode also covers the significance of Mister Car Wash's return to private ownership. Caruso closes with a reminder that declining transaction volume is not the same as a declining industry and that carwash mergers and acquisitions remain active for operators positioned to move.

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Meagan Kusek sits down with Tim Hogue, CEO and founder of Modernwash, to examine the business case for prefabricated carwash building construction and the misconceptions that have long followed it. Hogue opens by addressing that prefabricated structures are plain, limited in customization or somehow less permanent than traditional block builds. His counter is simple — Modernwash's bolt-together steel frame system can produce buildings ranging from standard carwash tunnels to two-story towers, equipment room overbuilds and even high-end residential and commercial structures.   The conversation dives into where prefabricated carwash building construction delivers its clearest financial benefit: Speed to open. Hogue walks through how time savings, combined with available tax advantages for pre-engineered structures, changes the financial math on a new build or renovation. He also discusses how Modernwash prepares buildings for future expansion from the start. Hogue closes with a look at current design trends in carwash architecture.

Rowe notes that remanufactured parts from RDM typically come in at roughly one-third the cost of new, backed by a one-year warranty on all control boards. Rowe also touches on how RDM plans ahead by tracking what equipment operators are buying today, anticipating where remanufactured carwash electronics will be needed as those systems age out of warranty.

I fall asleep ruminating. I wake up ruminating. Things are blinking and flashing on my dash but I can't figure it out so I just keep trucking. I stop creating. It feels suddenly like math is a farce and chaos and disorder is the only reality.

A customer recently asked me a great question: "Is Tough As Shell still worth using if I take my car through a soft-touch automatic car wash?" He had just bought a brand new dark jade green Kia Telluride, parks outside, does not have a garage or carport, and uses a commercial soft-touch car wash two or three times a month. So in this video, I'm answering that question honestly. Does a car wash remove ceramic spray? Is ceramic spray still worth it if you use automatic car washes? How often should you reapply protection if your car sits outside? And what is the best way to protect a new car when real life gets in the way? The truth is, products like Tough As Shell are not force fields. They will not make your paint scratch-proof or maintenance-free. But they do add a real layer of protection that helps with water beading, easier cleaning, UV exposure, gloss, and keeping your paint looking better over time. If you use a soft-touch car wash regularly, you may need to refresh your protection more often. But that does not make ceramic spray pointless. In fact, for many people, an easy-to-use ceramic spray is one of the most realistic ways to keep a daily driver protected.
