Questions about the VIP
What is the Xerash Pass?
Xerash Pass is the VIP subscription programme — customers subscribe monthly for unlimited washes, giving you predictable recurring revenue alongside standard pay-per-use income.
What is Sequence Mode?
Sequence Mode guides the customer automatically through every wash stage in the correct order — maximising chemical usage, wash quality and average spend per visit.
What is Fire & Foam?
Fire & Foam is a high-pressure, high-impact pre-wash combining active chemicals with maximum water pressure — the most visually striking programme and the most popular with customers.
What does Lux Shine include?
Lux Shine is our premium surface treatment applied as the final stage — a deeper, longer-lasting shine than standard wax, priced as a top-tier programme.
Is there territorial exclusivity with VIP?
Yes — VIP operators receive the largest exclusive territory in the FBS network, reflecting the investment level, site footprint and flagship brand position.
