There’s no better price than free! Everyone loves getting something for nothing, so offering complimentary valet service to guests at casinos, hotels, and shopping malls is a great way for establishments to create better guest experiences. Allowing customers to drop off their vehicle at the curbside gives them the VIP treatment right from the start and offers a great first impression that lasts until the moment they depart. They can patronize an establishment without having to hunt down a parking space and increase valuable dwell time, promoting higher spends. SMS Valet by TEZ is the world’s first paperless valet platform that allows enterprises to offer a truly elevated experience, driving repeat business and positive word of mouth.
How Ticketless SMS Valet® Works
Handing your keys over to a valet and receiving a paper ticket that you have to hang onto may have been good enough in an analog world, but digital SMS technology can enhance this process to make it better for the guest, the valet, and the business. At arrival, a valet operator asks the guest for a mobile number. The SMS Valet app automatically assigns that number to a reusable plastic key tag and sends a Welcome Text to the guest with instructions for requesting their vehicle. When it’s time to depart, the guest can request their vehicle directly from the digital ticket they received on check-in. Once requested, the valet receives a notification on the SMS Valet app and retrieves the vehicle. Guests can track their vehicle’s progress and are notified via text when it is ready. The process is streamlined and amazingly efficient. It eliminates the need to find parking which is a common cause for customer dissatisfaction. Guests can enjoy their time at an establishment without the worries and hassle of finding parking or waiting for their vehicle on the curb.
