Beyond Collecting Fees: Expanding Your Parking Booth’s Functionality

About 82% of professionals in the parking industry feel optimistic about the future of the sector. If you want to feel great about your own business, a multi-purpose parking booth that generates revenue beyond collecting parking fees can help. 

Generate More Revenue With Expanded Services 

Getting additional functionality from your parking booth starts with considering the services you could offer. Here are a few ideas:

• Security monitoring: With a large enough booth, you can combine security and parking attendance into a single service, allowing staff to build a broader skill set. 
• Visitor information services: A booth with bright colors and signage can direct visitors to your staff. Your parking crew may already know the area and can guide tourists to local restaurants and shops, even driving more traffic to your parking facility. This can work especially well in a tourist-heavy or business-first district. 
• Package acceptance: Capitalize on the need for people to keep their packages safe by holding them at your parking kiosk for a small fee. 
• Retail and concessions: Your booth can sell snacks, bottled water, local postcards, and other small items. This offers local passersby a convenient place to buy an item and allows your staff to enjoy their own concession stand on the job. 
• Electric vehicle support: Secure a reliable power source, and your parking kiosk can become an EV charging station. You can combine this with other services, such as EV charging memberships for a monthly fee or valet parking. 
• Marketing: Running ads for a local business on a billboard outside your ad can generate extra revenue. You will need to be in a high-traffic area and have an exterior signboard or screen to project ads. 

Make Your Parking Booth Do More

Starting to expand your parking attendant booth functions means beginning with an analysis. Consider where your booth is located, the employees who currently work at your kiosk, and how much each business idea would cost up front. You can survey current users of your parking booth to determine which services they would be willing to pay for. They could give you some great ideas for unique uses for parking attendant booths.
