Prevent revenue slippage with Summon’s innovative ticketless valet system

In today's competitive valet parking industry, a paramount concern for stakeholders is how to prevent revenue slippage effectively.

While they face challenges like staying ahead of competitors, securing lucrative locations, and navigating complex legal and insurance landscapes, internal fraud presents a significant threat to their financial integrity. This issue often manifests in the form of valet attendants compromising the revenue stream, a risk that becomes particularly pronounced in traditional valet operations. The Issue with Traditional Paper Tickets Traditionally, valet services rely on paper tickets to manage vehicle check-ins and outs, charging a fee for each car parked. This system, however, is ripe for exploitation. For instance, if a valet service parked 100 vehicles at $5 each, the expected revenue should be $500, matching 100 paper tickets. Yet, a common fraudulent practice involves reusing old tickets. An attendant could park 120 cars but only report 100, pocketing the extra cash undetected. This ‘ticket skimming’ scam is an all-too-common reality in operations still dependent on paper tickets. Summon’s Digital Solution: A Shield Against Fraud Summon’s ticketless valet system offers a robust solution to this pervasive problem. By digitizing the entire process, Summon eliminates the vulnerabilities inherent in paper ticket systems. Here’s how it works:

• Digital Check-In: Each vehicle check-in is logged digitally, with unique identification for each transaction, making the reissuing of old tickets impossible.
• Real-Time Tracking: Summon’s system provides live updates and tracking of each vehicle, ensuring that every car parked is accounted for in the system.
