FlashOS: Self-Validation Solution for Flash PARCS and Valet

Self-Validation

Our Self-Validation options allow parkers to walk up and apply validations to PARCS or valet transient tickets without assistance from an attendant.

Self-Validation Kiosk

Parkers can use the methods below to self-validate at a kiosk.

• Barcoded Ticket: Scan the PARCS or valet ticket barcode at the designated self-validation kiosk and the scheduled validation will automatically apply.
• Credit Card: Swipe the credit card and the scheduled validation will automatically apply.
• Mobile Number: Follow the steps below.
  1. Tap Other Options > I Entered My Mobile Phone # As My Ticket.
  2. Enter the mobile number used on entry and tap Go. The scheduled validation will automatically apply.

The Mobile Number entry is compatible with both Flash PARCS mobile number entry and with Valet Ticketless. 

Self-Validation Tablet

The Self-Validator App can also be used on a Windows Surface tablet to operate as a self-validation kiosk within the Flash PARCS system.

The user interface on the tablet functions the same way as a traditional self-validator kiosk, the only differences are the hardware and the it's not compatible with credit card entry tickets (Flash PARCS). Using a tablet offers a sleek, space-saving alternative that provides the same validation experience without the bulky footprint of a full kiosk.

Common Use Cases:

• Placed in lobbies, reception areas, or near exits for visitor use
• Used by front desk staff or attendants to assist guests with validation
• Ideal for properties that want flexible, portable validation options

Compatible Tickets

• Barcoded Ticket: Scan the PARCS or valet ticket barcode with the attached scanner on the self-validation tablet and the scheduled validation will automatically apply.

• Mobile Number: Follow the steps below:

1. Tap Other Options > I Entered My Mobile Phone # As My Ticket.
2. Enter the mobile number used on entry and tap Go. The scheduled validation will automatically apply.

Self-Validator Tablet Components

The credit card entry option can be disabled. If enabled, parkers using their credit card as their ticket must obtain a printed barcode validation instead of using the self-validation tablet.
