Valet can turn a hard-to-park location into a selling point. Here is a checklist for launching it without a large budget.
1. Decide who runs it
You can hire attendants directly or contract a valet company. Either way, confirm insurance cover for vehicles in your care and check local permits for kerbside loading.
2. Set up key control
A numbered key box or hook board is essential. Each hook number should match one active ticket. ipark.today assigns the next free hook automatically and shows it on the ticket, so keys never go missing.
3. Choose free or paid
Complimentary valet with optional tips works well for upscale dining. A flat fee suits busy areas. ipark.today supports both: guests pay the fee on their phone before requesting the car.
4. Put up signage
Print a podium QR sign so guests can always look up their car by plate. Our generator creates a printable sign in seconds.
5. Go paperless from day one
Starting digital avoids buying ticket books and makes reporting automatic. The Starter plan includes a 14-day free trial.
