King Radios Increase Efficiency for Valet Service

King Radios are the hallmark of quality among two-way professional radios. They offer flexibility, excellent audio quality and durability for many different applications, including all outdoor communications for @USFS (the U.S. Forestry Service). While many businesses turn to companies that make consumer two-way radios, if you rely on digital communications to make your business run efficiently, it’s vital to invest in high-quality business/professional King Radios like those sold by +Hanson Communications. In the valet business, where split-second communication can literally save hours over the course of a work week, King handhelds for communications between parking and front of house make a huge difference.

Shave Minutes Off Service

Consider the standard service flow in the typical valet situation. You have valets standing at the ready at the point of contact – front of house. That’s fine when a customer is dropping a car. But what happens when a customer appears for pickup? The driver is standing at the station rather than in the parking area. There’s a whole lot of wasted time while the driver leaves to get the car and return with it.  With a set of King digital radios, you’ve got immediate communications between parking lot and front of house. You can leave drivers stationed at the parking lot awaiting a call with the ticket number for the car to be brought up, saving time and increasing efficiency.

Take Care of Problems Efficiently

King handhelds also make it easy for your staff to take care of problems far more efficiently. Of course, you want to believe that your drivers will always have the right keys, they’ll never have a fender bender and there will never be a problem that will require your staff to call for assistance. Realistically, life just doesn’t work that way. When a driver has a two-way radio in hand, he can quickly call in assistance to track down the right set of keys or report any other issues, including alerting authorities to suspicious activity around the parking lot.

What to Look for in Two-Way Radios for a Valet Service

There are a few key factors to consider when you’re outfitting your valet service with King Radios.

Low Profile Headsets

You want your drivers to look professional at all times. Bulky headsets or handheld units can interfere with that. There are many different types of headsets available for King handhelds, and they’re interchangeable.

Secure Communications

King Radios are business class two-way radios, and use secure channels. In addition, you can use encrypted communication to provide an additional layer of security to communication between drivers and supervisors. King digital radios have encryption built in, making it even easier. King digital radios also offer other benefits including longer battery life and clearer transmission.

King Radios Beyond the Great Outdoors

King Radios have a stellar reputation for professional and rescue use in the great outdoors – just ask @USFS. The United States Forest Service has chosen +Bendix King Radios for all of their rangers and agents in the field. But you don’t have to be in the business of coordinating emergency rescues to appreciate the quality and durability of King mobiles and King digital radios. BK radios are the ideal choice for many businesses that require ongoing two-way communication throughout the workday. These are just a few of the businesses that benefit from the quality of business class mobiles and handhelds.

Photographers/Videographers

Two-way radios help you coordinate a team of videographers or photographers at events. Small, lightweight radios like the DPH5102X with a headset or earpiece are unobtrusive, but allow team members to communicate with each other throughout the filming. Business class BK radios provide enough battery power to get you through a full event and are durable enough to use day after day.

Construction Sites

King radios aren’t just a convenience on the construction site. They’re a safety essential. King handhelds give workers the ability to communicate with each other and with a base operation instantly, which improves workplace safety and increases productivity. For worksite use, BK radios provide functional durability, an important factor in a business where the radios are likely to take a lot of abuse. On a construction site with multiple teams, consider a BK mobile setup that allows the use of multiple channels so that each team can communicate freely without tying up communications.

Medical Facilities

There are multiple uses for two-way radios in medical facilities. From helping to coordinate patient care and transport to keeping security personnel in contact with each other, King Radios provide essential communications for a mobile workforce. The size of the facility and number of departments using King handhelds for communications will dictate the specific series and models that are best for each use, but the quality construction and function of business class BK radios are essential when lives hang in the balance.

Restaurants

In a restaurant, two-way radios facilitate communication between front of house and the kitchen, providing increased efficiency and productivity. Instant communication reduces the time required to turn over tables, gets food delivered to customers more quickly and even allows wait staff to check on availability of special orders without leaving the table. All of this leads to better service and increased profits. While many restaurants choose consumer class radios, professional class King Radios are a far better choice. Their durability and high battery life reduce ongoing costs, while the more exclusive channels reduce interference from outside sources.
If you’re outfitting a business with handheld or portable two-way radios, King Radios are an investment in quality. Why rely on consumer radios when the higher quality provides so much more utility for your needs?
