  • Patent number: 11878664
    Abstract: A system and method for enrolling new carwash customer account profiles can or automatic access to carwash equipment. Baseline information is collected along with vehicle images for quick enrollment. The new customer can enter the carwash right away. As long as the account remains unclaimed the system periodically sends reminder messages. The unclaimed account can still wash, and the registration can be completed on the customer personal device while the vehicle is being washed or another convenient time. This provides a quick and easy way to register a new customer for a carwash subscription service or pay per wash product with automatic capture of much of the customer information—reducing the number of steps for the customer and team member operating the point-of-sale device. There is no need for manual entry of credit card information or vehicle information, enhancing enrollment efficiency for the customer.

  • Patent number: 11861562
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to a method of matching job-seekers and employers in real-time with low required effort by the job-seekers and employers. A system-wide taxonomy is used in matching job-seekers and employers, thereby reducing the time for the recruiting process. Employers create a job position, and specify the relative importance of traits associated with the job position. Job-seekers answer profile questions (e.g. work experience), and the system uses the taxonomy to generate a list of job-seeker skills based on the answers to these questions. A list of job-seekers is then generated for the job position based on a mapping of the available job-seekers' skills and the employer rankings of the job position traits. A number of additional factors, like job seekers' in-app engagement, are used to further sort and filter the list of job-seekers.
