Lost Paper Valet Tickets
When a guest loses a paper slip, the team has to work out which car is theirs and whether to hand it over, usually while other guests wait.
What it looks like
- Slips left on tables, in washrooms or in other bags
- Staff searching the lot to match keys to cars
- Uncomfortable identity checks at the desk
- Queues building while one guest is sorted out
Why it happens
- The slip is the only link between the guest and the car
- Nothing ties the slip to the guest’s identity
- No searchable record of which car is where
The usual workaround: Staff ask for ID or registration papers and match keys by hand while the queue grows.
What ValetBee does about it
The ValetBee ticket is a private link sent to the guest’s WhatsApp, so there is no slip to lose. If the guest cannot open it, staff can find the car by plate in the staff app and follow your venue’s usual identity check before handing it over.
| Without software | With ValetBee |
|---|---|
| Paper slip that can be lost or damaged | Ticket link in the guest’s WhatsApp |
| Car found by memory or key tag | Car found by plate, with its recorded space |
| No record of when the slip was issued | Ticket timeline from check-in to handover |
Frequently asked questions
- How should staff confirm ownership without a ticket?
- ValetBee does not verify identity. Keep your existing check, such as asking for ID or the registration certificate, and match it to the plate on the ticket.
