Locker turns any storage counter into a fast, ticketless operation. No paper stubs, no plastic tags, no claim cards to lose. The guest's phone number is the claim — and they get a text the moment their item is checked in. Built for hospitality and recreation operators who hand items back all day: - Bag storage — hotels, hostels and left-luggage rooms - Valet parking — snap a photo and log the plate, make and color - Coat check — one-tap check-in built for a sold-out night - Ski & gear — track skis, boards, boots and poles by type, brand and size - Dry cleaning — follow every garment from in-progress to ready HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap the item in. Enter the guest's phone number and a detail or two. 2. Locker texts the guest an automatic confirmation. 3. At pickup, search the last digits of their phone and hand it back. WHY OPERATORS USE LOCKER - Faster lines — check items in seconds, no handwriting, no tags - Fewer disputes — snap photos at drop-off as a record of condition - Happier guests — automatic confirmation and ready texts - Clear handovers — every item, status and timestamp in one place - Built-in reports — see volume, average stay and daily activity at a glance No app for your guests to download.
