Our casino recently contracted with Park Inc to provide valet parking and shuttle service for our patrons.   Park Inc offers extraordinary service that sets our casino apart from the others in the area. Your sharply dressed valet attendants are always alert, visible, and ready to serve, allowing our guests the opportunity to enjoy their stay from the moment they arrive. Our guests spend less time worrying about parking and luggage and more time exploring the casino.  Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

-How long have you been a  crossing guard supervisor?
I have been the crossing guard supervisor since 2009.  This is my 3^rd school year.

-What is your favorite part of the job?
My favorite part of the job is working with the Administrators, parents, staff and children at our schools.  Their tireless commitment to educating children makes me work harder to ensure they arrive safely.  The children remind me everyday why our job is so imperative.

-What is the hardest part of this job?
The hardest part of this position is wanting to be in so many locations at the same time and manage personnel simultaneously.  Every day is a careful balancing act to ensure each school in Charlotte Mecklenburg School District has the attention they require.  So far, it has worked well.

-What is the most important part of a crossing guard’s job?
The most important part of a crossing guard’s job is to be present.  Not just present physically but mentally as well.  If a guard is preoccupied or not paying attention, it could lead to oversights in their service.  We pride ourselves in exceptional service to the children of CMS.

-What kind of personality traits do you look for when hiring crossing guards?
The traits I look for in for crossing guard applicants are to be cognizant of traffic laws, approachable, kind, and have the ability to communicate properly and respectfully with individuals of various ages and levels of management.  All of these traits are paramount to their success as a crossing guard.

“It is so warm and welcoming to drive up to their smiles!”

“Extremely professional young men.  Caring is #1 in my book and they care!”

“Attendant was courteous and on the ball.  I was treated like a celebrity.”

“We’re used to this service and would hate to be without it—such a blessing!”

“This young man has gone out of his way to be kind and helpful.  Every attendant I have encountered has been kind and polite.”

“Delighted with this service!”

“Excellent service—very professional and kind.”

“They couldn’t be any better.  They help so many people.”

“You can’t improve on perfect!  They are all great. “

“I am recovering from back surgery and this service has been wonderful.  Great people you have working for Park Inc here in New York.”

“The attendants were exceptional.  We appreciated their assistance.”

“I was hurting really bad this day and the attendants really helped me out.  Thanks.”

“I am so glad this service is available.  Lease keep this going.”

“Attendants continue to be courteous and helpful beyond my expectations!!”

1.  Is your company a member of the National Valet Parking Association?

If the answer is yes, then you can rest assured that this is a quality company that is committed to abiding by a strict set of guidelines set forth by the NVPA.   These standards involve claims handling, security, insurance requirements, employee training guidelines and more.  Only a handful of companies are members of the NVPA.

2.  Are you insured?  

A Certificate of Insurance can and should be provided by any quality parking management provider.  Always ask a potential valet parking service company for a certificate of insurance that lists you as an additional insured on the valet company’s policy.  Standard levels of coverage should include the following:

• General Liability, providing for any mishap causing personal injury, either by premises or attendant. Policy limit: $2,000,000
• Garage Keepers Liability, providing coverage for any property damage, such as collision or theft of vehicles. Policy limit: $1,000,000.
• Employee Dishonesty Coverage, protects your business from claims for loss of and loss from damage to, covered property such as money, equipment, or security.  Policy limit: $500,000.
• Umbrella Liability, to provide excess coverage for General Liability in the amount of $10,000,000.  

3.  How do you screen potential employees? 

All valet parking attendants should be  screened through several different processes to ensure only quality valets represent your organization .This should include screening  for criminal background, driving history, and drug use.  In addition, basic personality traits that are consistent with those of successful employees should be actively sought out. 

4.  How long have you been in business?  

Since there are so many parking companies out there, it is important to work with a company that has been in business for a substantial number of years and has an established track record.  Ultimately, you want to find a partner, not just a vendor.

5.   Will you provide references? 

In addition to having been in business for a while, your prospective vendor should be able to provide you with references.  These references should be relevant to your service needs and should include current contact information.

Park Inc is fortunate to have Tamara Davis heading up this program.  She has been the crossing guard supervisor for the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police for the past several years and her experience has proved to be invaluable to our success in taking over this service.  In addition, we have retained a majority of the guards from previous years.  Each is dedicated to their work and love working with all the kids.  We have been thoroughly impressed with how much the crossing guard staff truly cares about the work they do.

As we gain experience in this new venture, we would like expand our crossing guard service expand into other markets.  The school system has been pleased with the seamlessness of the transition.  With most of the schools on a tight budget these days, outsourcing crossing guard service is an option that more and more will consider.  If you have knowledge school systems in your respective areas that have crossing guard services, please let Becca Rouse, rouser@parkinc.com, in our corporate office know.  We would love to add this service to schools near you.

 This year, the Wyndham Championship began on August 15th and lasted until August 21st, with the last two days of the event selling out. As the week progressed, the amount of tickets sold and cars parked increased. Throughout the week, Park Inc provided 16 valets in order to maintain superior valet services. The valets that serviced the Wyndham Championship included a mixture of employees from the Greensboro area, as well as, the Charlotte area. Park Inc will be returning next year for the 75^thannual Wyndham Tournament. 

The Wyndham Championship isn’t the only tournament on the PGA Tour where we provide valet services. The company also services Quail Hollow for the PGA Tour tournament that it hosts, the Wells Fargo Championship. The Wells Fargo Championship originates back to 2003 when it was first called the Wachovia Championship. Park Inc is proud to say that the company has provided valet services from the start of the championship. Park Inc will also be back at Quail Hollow next year to supply valet services for the 10^th annual Wells Fargo Championship.

Park Inc has earned a reputation as a preferred partner with the PGA Tour by providing valet parking services to patrons and players alike.  We can offer the same level of outstanding service to guests at your restaurant, club, or special event.  Interested in learning more about valet parking services offered by Park Inc?   Contact the parking solutions professionals at Park Inc today for a no obligation quotation on all parking needs.

At Park Inc, our approach to hospital parking management is far different from managing parking for a hotel, casino, shopping center or airport.  Folks do not visit hospitals by choice.  The circumstances that prompt hospital visits are not the same as the circumstances that might lead customers to the mall or a hotel.  We understand the need for compassion.  When assembling our team, we look for quick and efficient employees.  But just as importantly we look for employees who truly care and want to help your patients and visitors.  All of our parking solutions, including valet, shuttle service, and lot / garage management represent a patients’ first impression of your hospital, and we set the tone for their visit.  And we work with you to determine just how they see us.  We can blend in and look like an employee of the hospital, or we can supply employees with Park Inc uniforms to represent a separate service.  We’re flexible! 

In addition to our impeccable customer service skills, we are one of only a handful of parking companies belonging to the National Valet Parking Association.  In other words, we are held to a high set of standards that include safety, claims handling, customer service, security and more.  You can read more about the NVPA at www.nvpaonline.com.  For a no obligation quote or for more information on how Park Inc might be a good fit for your hospital or health care system, please call Becca Rouse at (704)377-1755 or email rouser@parkinc.com.

Once the decision has been made to offer valet or shuttle service, folks are faced with the decision to either operate it in-house or outsource.  Some are able to manage it well enough themselves and somehow find the time to deal with the day to day operations.  Others soon realize that they just don’t have the time to stay on top of things and the quality of the service begins to suffer. 

When entrusting Park Inc with your casino parking management, we go above and beyond to make sure that the parking services are as high in quality as the rest of your facility’s operations.  We understand that the valet/shuttle driver is your guest’s first point of contact with your casino and that is an important first (and last) impression to make.  We train our staff to be ambassadors for your establishment.  Equally as important, our certified parking managers are well versed in revenue controls and are able to provide detailed reports for you on a daily, weekly and/or monthly basis.  We want our service to be a profit center for your casino, and we understand the importance of revenue control.  Finally, by allowing us to manage your parking operations you don’t have to bear the weight of liability in the event that something goes wrong.  We pride ourselves on quality service, but we’re human and sometimes accidents do happen.  Let us handle it….you’ve got other things to do!

Park Inc has a long history of community service and involvement and we’re excited about this opportunity to help in our clients’ own communities.  If you are a current client and you know of someone who might be open to a conversation with us about how we can assist them with their parking solutions, whether it be valet parking, shuttle bus service, parking lot management, patient transport or greeter services, please contact our Sales and Marketing Manager (Becca Rouse) at (704)377-1755.  Thank you!
