Locker Valet

No tickets at the podium. Just a phone number.

Locker Valet is built for restaurants, boutique hotels, and single-stand operations. When the operation outgrows the counter, the same maker has the enterprise answer.

How it works

Three steps. No hardware, no training, no contract.

1
Vehicle in.

Enter the guest's phone — or snap one photo and AI fills the plate, make, model, and color for you.

2
Guest gets a text.

Their confirmation is on their phone. It can't fall out of a pocket.

3
Mark retrieved.

Guest reads you the last 5 digits of their number. You pull the car. Done.

What you run with Locker — $50/month

Everything a valet stand needs to run clean — before a dollar changes hands.

One-photo check-in with AI

Point the camera at the car. AI reads the license plate, make, model, and color and fills the ticket — plus notes visible damage. Five typed fields become one tap; every field stays editable.

The full vehicle record

Plate, make, model, color, parking spot, and key tag on every ticket. “Where's the key for the blue Model 3” is on the ticket — not in someone's memory.

Four photos on every car

Walk-around photos at drop-off, time-stamped. When a guest swears the scratch wasn't there, you show them the photo from 4:12 PM.

A live board of the whole operation

ARRIVAL → PARKED → REQUESTED at a glance. Overstay alerts flag cars past your limit.

Find any car in seconds

Search by phone digits, name, plate, color, or spot. Guest lost their phone too? You'll still find the car.

Guest self-service retrieval

The guest taps the link in their text to request the car before walking out — staff phones get an instant push. The car is waiting instead of the guest.

Repeat guests, remembered

Start typing a phone number and prior guests suggest instantly — regulars check in in seconds.

Incident reports that protect you

Photos plus your own legal disclaimer text, printable, with acknowledgment capture. Built for the day you hope never comes.

Staff roles and accountability

Owner, manager, and staff tiers. Every status change logged — who checked in, who released, when.

Reports your accountant will use

Daily intake and completion charts, average dwell time, CSV export of everything.

Or — use your own tickets. Your bill never moves.

Already hand out preprinted valet tickets? Keep them. Switch to your-own-tickets mode and the app runs on your ticket numbers — check in against ticket 4471, search by it, hand back against it. Duplicate active numbers are rejected (stack discipline, enforced), and since no texts are sent, zero SMS credits are used: your cost is $50 a month, flat, no matter how many cars you park. Zero change at the podium on day one; switch to phone-number mode whenever you're ready.

Unlock with Locker Pro

Collect payment on the same phone.

Your iPhone becomes the card terminal — and every dollar gets a name.

Your iPhone is the card terminal

Tap to Pay on iPhone: credit, debit, Apple Pay — on the phone your staff already holds. No terminal to buy, no cables at the podium.

A charge screen you turn toward the guest

The total, computed server-side from your rates — hourly with a daily max, so a 3-day car never becomes an argument. Add a car wash as a line item. The guest taps. Approved.

Tips, on card

Suggested tip amounts on every card charge. Your valets earn more; you change nothing.

Validations, without the honor system

Named presets — “Validated — Hotel Guest (100%)”, “Restaurant — $15 off” — applied in one tap. Every validated ticket records the full price and the validation, so month-end you know exactly what each partner's validations were worth. A 100% validation zeroes the tax automatically. Only managers create presets.

Charge when it makes sense

At the podium when the car is requested, or at delivery. An unpaid car can't be released — money can't slip out with the car.

Cash, comps, receipts — recorded

Log cash, comp to zero with a reason, text an itemized receipt. Every transaction lands on the ticket.

Revenue that reconciles itself

Gross, net, tips, tax, card vs. cash — by day and by cashier, with refunds tracked to a name and a reason.
