Can a guest tip without paying for parking?

Yes. A guest can add a tip on its own from their ticket link, for example when parking was already paid or validated. The tip is paid by card or digital wallet.

Can guests choose not to tip?

Yes. At checkout, No tip sits next to your suggested amounts, and nothing is picked for the guest in advance.

How do valets record cash tips?

From the ticket in the Summon app, the valet opens Log Tip, enters the amount and chooses how it was paid: cash, front desk, card reader or Tap to Pay on iPhone.

Can I offer tips on work orders too?

Yes. Work order tips have their own setting and their own suggested amounts, so service checkouts can be set up differently from valet.

Where do I see the tips?

Each ticket keeps a list of its tips, and the location's daily report shows tips separately from parking payments.

Valet Tips

Make It Easy for Guests to Tip Your Valets

Guests see your suggested tip amounts when they pay, or add a tip from their ticket link at any time. Valets log cash and card tips in the app, and every tip is kept apart from parking revenue.

How It Works

1
Set Your Tip Amounts
In the location's payment settings, turn on valet tips and choose three suggested amounts, smallest to largest.
2
Guests Tip When They Pay
At checkout the guest taps one of your amounts, types their own, or picks No tip. The tip is added to the same payment.
3
Or Tip From the Ticket
A guest who already paid, or has nothing to pay, can add a tip from their ticket link by card or digital wallet.
4
Valets Log Tips In Person
When a guest tips at the car, the valet logs it on the ticket as cash, at the front desk, by card reader or with Tap to Pay on iPhone.

What You Get

Your Amounts

You set the three suggested tips for each location, so the choices fit your prices and your guests.

Tips From the Guest's Phone

Guests tip on the same link they use to pay and request their car. No app to download.

Cash Tips on the Record

Valets log cash and front desk tips on the ticket, so in-person tips are counted too.

Card Tips Through Your Account

Card tips are paid through your own Stripe or Square account, the same as parking payments.

Kept Apart From Revenue

Tips are stored separately from the parking payment, so revenue and tips never blur together.

Every Tip in Your Reports

Each tip shows on the ticket's tip list and in the location's daily report.
