That's where SD2K Valet's Lockable Tip Boxes come in, a vital accessory designed to enhance security, professionalism, and convenience at your valet station.

SD2K's tip boxes are more than just containers; they are a thoughtfully designed component of a complete valet solution, ensuring that gratuities are safely collected while maintaining a sleek and organized appearance.

Key Features and Benefits of SD2K Lockable Tip Boxes:

  • Robust Security:
    The primary benefit of these tip boxes is their lockable design. This feature provides peace of mind, ensuring that collected tips are secure throughout your operating hours, reducing the risk of theft and maintaining accountability. Each box is typically uniquely keyed for added security.

  • Durable Construction:
    Crafted from high-quality materials, such as 18-gauge formed galvanized steel, these tip boxes are built to withstand the demands of daily valet operations. The matte black powder-coated finish not only offers a professional and elegant look but also provides excellent resistance to wear and tear, even in outdoor environments.

  • Seamless Integration:
    SD2K offers specific tip box models designed to seamlessly integrate with their popular valet podiums, including the Smart Valet Podium and Elite Valet Podium. This ensures a cohesive and professional appearance, making them a natural extension of your existing valet setup. They can also often be easily mounted to walls or other suitable surfaces.

  • Convenient Tip Collection:
    Featuring integrated slots, these boxes allow for quick and easy insertion of cash, checks, or even tickets, streamlining the tip collection process for your attendants.

  • Compact and Practical Design:
    With dimensions typically around 4"D x 8"W x 10"H, they are designed to be compact enough to fit discreetly within or alongside your valet podiums without taking up excessive space, while still offering ample capacity for tips.
