Description

The Self-Service Car Wash Kiosk is an innovative and user-friendly solution built on Node.js, presenting a web-based platform for streamlined car wash services. This kiosk simplifies the user experience by providing a series of intuitive steps for patrons to select their car type, preferred service, verify their identity through OTP, complete payment, and generate a unique receipt equipped with a QR code.

 

Key Features:

1. Car Type Selection: Upon arrival at the kiosk, users are prompted to choose their car type from options like sedan, SUV, or crossover. This step ensures tailored service recommendations based on the vehicle's dimensions and needs.

2. Service Selection: Following the car type selection, users can choose their preferred service type, such as exterior wash, interior detailing, or a combination of both. This step provides a customized service experience aligned with the user's preferences.

3. OTP Verification: To ensure secure transactions and identity confirmation, users are required to enter a one-time password (OTP). This verification process enhances security measures before proceeding to the payment stage.

4. Checkout Process: Once the OTP is successfully verified, users are directed to the checkout page where they can review their selected service, confirm details, and proceed with payment. This step ensures a seamless and transparent transaction process.

5. Receipt Generation: Upon successful payment, a detailed receipt is generated containing transaction information and a unique QR code. The receipt serves as proof of payment and contains the necessary information for initiating the car wash.

6. QR Code Integration: The generated QR code on the receipt serves as a digital ticket. When scanned at the car wash station, it triggers the automated system to begin the selected service. Importantly, the system is designed to prevent the QR code from being used multiple times to avoid unauthorized re-use.

Technical Specifications:

• Technology Stack: Node.js is the core framework used to develop the web-based platform. It leverages its asynchronous, event-driven architecture for smooth functionality.

• User Interface (UI): The UI is designed to be intuitive and responsive, offering a user-friendly experience on various devices, including tablets or touchscreens.

• Security Measures: The implementation includes robust security protocols, such as OTP verification, to ensure data integrity and protect user information during transactions.
