The guest
You hand over
the keys and
walk away.
That is the whole of your side. No app, no account, nothing in your pocket to lose.
Before you reach the lobby
A text arrives, and it
knows which car
is yours.
The ticket number sits alone on line one, because that is what a lock screen shows you. Underneath it, one link. It is the only one you will ever be sent.
Then, nothing
Dinner happens.
The link sits in your messages doing absolutely nothing for two hours. That is the correct behavior for it.
Somewhere around dessert
You ask for the car from the table.
One tap, on a page you never signed into. Holding the link is the whole of your credential.
While you find your coat
Requested. On the way. Ready.
Three states, and they are the only three you are shown. Everything before this collapses into "parked", because none of it is yours to act on.
Parked 2 hr 14 min
No account was made. Nothing was installed.
The bill
You pay on your own phone.
From the same text, on the same link. Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card you type once and nobody asks you to save.
Or you don't
You tap a card on theirs.
Tap to Pay on the iPhone the valet is already holding. The card goes onto the phone. There is no second machine on the stand.
Both, at every stand
Two ways, and neither one
is a new machine.
Both phones were already in the picture.
your phone -
the text you already have
their phone -
the one they check cars in on
If you are here every Tuesday
The same link sells you
the monthly permit.
Two doors on the page you already had. A code to your phone is the most identity anyone asks of you.
this is the
whole upsell
Last Tuesday
This Tuesday
Same sender, same link, four different words. Nobody announced that you had become a regular.
Rates are set by the operator. Figures shown here are illustrative.
Seen enough of this one?
Pick the part you
actually care about.
The same operation, seen from five sides.
Thirty minutes
Run this night on
your own front drive.
Your property name, your rates, your phone in your hand. We will send you the same message a guest gets, from your own stand.
