Innovations in Valet Services: Leveraging Technology for Efficiency
August 23, 2024
Is your parking facility smooth and easy for customers and staff? Perhaps not. Parking space management in a hotel, restaurant, hospital, retail area, or standalone parking garage can be a great challenge, especially in a busy urban or suburban setting. By offering parking, whether it’s free or you’re providing paid parking options, you’re giving visitors a convenient way to patronize your establishment. However, that all depends on whether the parking and valet services are efficient. Learn how the latest technology for parking from FC Valet can help.
Efficiency in Parking Operations
The success of your parking garage or valet service depends as much on the efficiency of your staff as it does on the convenience you provide for your customers. An inefficient parking facility will be annoying for drivers who will likely go elsewhere, and it will slow down the operation, leading to fewer parking customers and less profits for your company.
The benefits of an efficient parking facility are:
- Customers can park and get to their destination more quickly
- Greater customer satisfaction
- Positive online reviews and ‘word of mouth’ recommendations for increased business
- Less congestion at your facility
- A smoother, more seamless operation
With valet services added, there can be even less congestion and a greater throughput of vehicles for added profits.
Valet service technology makes parking and valet services even faster and more convenient for your customers, more efficient for your staff, and more lucrative for you.
The Role of Technology in Valet Services
FC Valet is a technology-focused organization. We designed, developed, and continually improved our valet parking software to answer the evolving needs of those we serve as only parking operators can. Our valet service technology converted an antiquated analog process to a waste-free, secure vehicle tracking and payment system.
What are the benefits of FC Valet’s technology, Valeazy? Our Valeazy Valet Parking Software offers the following benefits:
- Paper claim tickets are replaced with digital e-tickets for mobile devices, reducing waste and preventing loss.
- Guests receive a welcome text message as their digital valet ticket.
- Customers can request their vehicle in advance and pay quickly through their mobile devices.
- Valets can communicate with guests regarding any issues with their vehicles or items left behind.
What our proprietary software does that our competitors’ products currently don’t:
- Allows contactless guest self-registration (e-ticketing)
- PCI-compliant secure payment portal – allows payment using Apple/Google Pay
- Collects a damage screening video to ensure clear liability
Our valet service technology also tracks employee productivity and issues service feedback scores to each guest. Our company’s average feedback score is 92%.
Additional benefits for operators include access to all program data in real-time, activity and accounting reports, scheduling updates, and revenue control—all from your mobile device. It all adds up to a tremendous boost in efficiency.
Using this software is optional, based on the needs of our clients. At FC Valet, we customize our parking and valet parking services to fit the needs of each customer, and our services are scalable to adjust to your growing operations.
