PARKING MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC.
The history of Parking Management Services is one of continued
success and growth. Founded by Thomas R. Gigliotti Jr. in 1989,
the company has expanded operations to over fifteen states and
currently operates the hospitality parking operations of more
than one hundred major hotels across the country. The company
also provides other hospitality services to many of these hotel
accounts, such as Bell, Door, Concierge, Shuttle Transportation,
Self Parking, Garage Management and much more. Parking
Management Services now employs over eight hundred employees
and has reached revenues in excess of $70 million annually. The mission of the company is
delivering exceptional service and exceeding guest expectations. While the company
continues to add new hotels and related hospitality accounts, its founder keeps the company
grounded in its roots. Thomas “Tom” Gigliotti Jr. has remained fully engaged in the
company’s operations, working with the employees in every capacity. Rejecting the top-
heavy corporate model, Tom remains committed to a small corporate structure and a strong
focus on operations in each city.
Tom started in the valet and parking business at the age of 17, and the years that followed
have been both challenging and filled with success. Because of his involvement in day-to-
day operations, Tom understands his employees. As a result, Tom’s business model has built
dedication, commitment, loyalty and continued success. Each city where the company
operates has a City Manager with equity ownership in that location’s operations. In addition,
Parking Management Services awards more bonus pay to its managers than many other
companies in the industry. We know that our people represent us both to our clients and
their guests, and it is important that they are rewarded for their efforts.
We are proud to deliver exceptional service through dedication to our valued hospitality
accounts and their guests, while continuing to remain mindful that our eight hundred–plus
employees are our day-to-day representatives.
Established in 1989 by Thomas R. Gigliotti, Jr.

EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE STANDARDSTARGETING EACH CLIENT’S CRITERIA
Realizing that every hospitality brand and each property has very specific service delivery
demands, Parking Management Services trains its employees to understand the importance
of each of the service delivery standards at all client properties.
Teamwork and dedication to total guest satisfaction
Parking Management Services recognizes that
training is the key to delivering the expected service
level that our clients demand. While many of our
competitors, including the giant parking corporations,
will attempt to impress you with long lists of training
programs and corporate universities, we choose to
train our employees on the fundamental elements
that are vital to the job functions. Training at Parking
Management Services continues on a daily, weekly
and monthly basis to keep our employees performing
with top knowledge and professionalism.
SERVICE DELIVERY. Having personally opened the valet parking operations of well over 100
hotels—and nearly every US hotel brand—company founder Tom Gigliotti Jr. is intimately
acquainted with each brand’s specific service needs. His unique Service Delivery Training,
which includes preparing today’s managers to train future managers, ensures exceptional
service for years to come. Disney, Hyatt, Marriott, Fairmont, Sheraton, Sonesta, Holiday Inn,
Wyndham, Omni, Hilton and many more hotels have benefited from the Service Delivery
Training that meets and exceeds every brand’s specific demands. The result: noticeably
exceptional service on arrival and departure.

GUEST RELATIONS
In addition to Safety and Service Delivery Training, every employee attends Guest Relations
and Claims Handling Training. These two skill sets can save a guest or lose a guest forever.
We regard all four of these training areas as key to delivering exceptional service. While we
realize that our managers and supervisors need to complete many more areas of training,
we conduct such internal training monthly so that our management team is in total
compliance with our accounting and company policies of accountability. Because exceptional
service is the cornerstone of our business, and when we strive to meet and exceed our
client expectations daily, then our accounting and control policies will monitor and keep
profitability high for our clients and our company. Simply stated, we maintain high
standards without a mountain of corporate red tape.
GUEST RELATIONS. Many of our employees see thousands of guests every week. During
special events, they may see over a thousand people in a single day, and many times even
more. We know our employees will encounter a range of guests—from delightful to
distracted to disgruntled. Many will present mild to extreme challenges to our employees,
and we prepare them to meet any guest need. Our Guest Relations Training includes in-class
use of material from the American Hotel and Lodging Association, videos and testing
workbooks, along with our own role-playing exercises to meet and resolve the challenges
that will be part of the job.
BELL SERVICE/DOOR SERVICE
As a partner to the hospitality industry, Parking Management Services’ entire culture is
based on service excellence. As our company has grown to offer clients a full range of
related parking services, we remain committed to exceptional customer care.
n Bell Services. Parking Management Services understands our clients and their guests’
needs and expectations. Our staff assigned to bell services are trained to understand the
importance of exceeding guests’ expectations from the moment they arrive at the hotel
door until they enter their room. These first interactions form the guests’ first impressions
of the hotel. Training is completed in our classroom, and we urge our hotel client partners
to allow our staff to add specific training that clearly demonstrates the individual hotel’s
standards. The synergy between our valet and bell staff promotes superior guest service
and a stronger bottom line through the reduction of labor duplications.
n Door Service. For hotels require door service, once again, Parking Management Services
can meet and exceed expectations for this added level of service. While we train all
employees to deliver an exemplary welcome to guests on arrival, we incorporate custom
training specific to different hotel brands. Our clients find that including door service in the
front of house operations reduces unnecessary labor costs.

CONCIERGE SERVICE
Around the world, concierge is found in top tier hotels, elegant restaurants and private clubs,
providing personalized arrangements. When guests reach out to the concierge, they expect
nothing but professional, knowledgeable, considerate and discrete assistance. Parking
Management Services carefully selects individuals who will fit the hospitality property and
best work with the established culture of the locale.
While Parking Management Services is growing at a consistent pace, we will not depart
from our founder’s focus on delivering exceptional service. Our commitment to excellence
results in stellar guest service scores for our client partners.
GARAGE AND SELF PARKING MANAGEMENT
Parking Management Services takes great pride in the services delivered to our clients, and
we are especially grateful for the complimentary and positive comments that come from all
of our valued client relationships. Whatever we commit to a client, you can be sure that we
will deliver. In the 15 states where we currently operate hotel valet parking and related
services, we also operate or manage garages and parking lots associated with the hotels
and hospitality properties.
We are well aware that parking space for any hotel or related hospitality operation is
essential to the success of that business. Parking Management Services has secured
garages and parking lots in all 15 states to accommodate the needs of its clients.
Parking Management Services has secured long-term leases on garages and parking lots
and has in various cases invested in the purchase of major real estate, garages and parking
lots. Founder and CEO Tom Gigliotti is a strong advocate of simple, cost-effective technology
that delivers the maximum control of costs and revenues. It is this continued strategy that
has built our solid growth and financial strength.
For you, we can deliver the very best of service and the very best at the bottom line. The
giant corporations or the smaller, less successful companies might attempt to put on a
grand sales show to capture your account — go with the straightforward, tried and proven
winner! We want your account and will earn your trust as we build your profits.

A key element of our safety training reminds employees that when we welcome a guest to
a hotel, we take possession of their vehicle — a seemingly perfunctory task, but a car is the
second most expensive investment that most families or individuals will ever purchase. In
many cases, the vehicle that the guest entrusts to us also contains valuable personal
articles. Safety training is a key element of our guest services.
The safety of our guests and employees is the greatest of our responsibilities, and our
training covers the well-being of the employee and our guest assets, demonstrating to our
clients that we are serious about every aspect of the delivery of an exceptional service
product. Safety is key to our operations and is an integral part of our continued employee
training.
The Smith System: Drive Different.
The Smith System has proven itself as
the most effective custom training tool
in the world. The Smith5Keys™ is the
basis of our safety training, creating
consistent and lasting results. Parking
Management Services invests in the
Smith System to insure the safety of its
employees and guest assets.
SAFETY TRAINING
Driver Training is of great importance in any situation that requires our employees to
operate a guest vehicle. In some of our cities, employees must drive the guest vehicle as far
as 4 to 10 blocks in order to secure the vehicle in the nearest garage. Whether the distance
is long or short, safety training is key to avoiding accidents that can cause personal injury
and damage to vehicles.
13
The first and only telematics solutions fullyintegrated with on-road driver training
The Smith System Training has reduced our guest claims significantly, in turn relieving
stress on the employee, the hotel, the guest, and increasing the bottom line profit. If you
would like more information on The Smith System, see the Smith website at www.smith-
system.com.
In addition to the Smith Training, we also require each employee to repeat most training
every three months and the more complex training every six months. This includes training
in emergency situations at all of our hotel locations, and we require that all employees
attend the hotel or brand-specific training at the property where they are assigned. Continual
training keeps our employees confident in the delivery of service excellence and safety.
SAFETY TRAINING
While Parking Management Services’ account base has grown tremendously, we continue
to focus our operations on exceptional service delivery with strong and accurate revenue
control and accounting policies. We keep our company policies as simple as possible and
emphasize relationship building so that we never become a cold and impersonal corporate
operation.
Our claims handling is another of our key result areas that sets us apart from our
competitors. Our employees understand that if an issue is not resolved with the utmost
diplomacy, the result is an unhappy guest who will never return. Parking Management
Services works with the guest and the hotel or hospitality client to bring about a quick and
fair resolution. While our competitors will require guests to jump through their many
corporate hoops, we resolve claims without red tape — in most cases, the same day the
claim is made.
n Every employee is trained in assisting guests who need to file a claim. This classroom
training prepares the employee for every challenge or issue that a guest might have. Our
supervisors and managers are well qualified to work with the hotel and the guest to keep
communication open and positive so that the claim can be resolved to the satisfaction of
all involved. When a claim needs to be paid, it is done immediately in the company
accounting office, and the guest is made whole.
14
CLAIMS HANDLING
Training every employee to work with guest claims professionally
15
The first and most important step to claims resolution is maintaining clear and concise
communication between the guest and our hospitality client. We handle all claims with
absolute professionalism while showing empathy to the guest. Furthermore, we understand
that demonstrating a fair, knowledgeable and rapid response in all claims preserves our
relationships with the guest and our hospitality client.
The Parking Management Services staff includes a hospitality industry veteran with decades
of experience who focuses on bringing to the guest and our hospitality client the positive
resolution we all expect. Our streamlined process quickly brings any guest claim to a fair
settlement, and we are ready to provide the remuneration necessary to clear the claim.
Our first goal is to avoid the need for a claim, and our effective training keeps our claims to
sales ration minimal. The following are some of key points of our effective process for claims
resolution:
n While many corporate giants as well as smaller companies will delay in communicating
with the guest and the hospitality client, our first order of dealing with any claim is to
immediately contact and work with all involved.
n We will never send any guest claim to a bureaucratic corporate office that will slow the
claim’s resolution to a grind.
n Many companies outsource their claims. We will never walk away from or pass a claim on
to an outside entity that will not hold to our policy of immediate resolution.
n No 800 numbers or call centers that confuse the guest when they have questions. We
work with your guests one on one — no outsourcing.
CLAIMS HANDLING
16
n Our company offices are kept small and efficient, with a focus on accuracy and accountability
for all client accounts. To ensure all accounting policies and government reporting of
revenues are in compliance, our CFO is also a certified public accountant. We have
demonstrated our commitment to total accountability with each client through our record
of excellence in revenue and cash controls.
n Your account is backed by a company with strong financial security to deliver on every
commitment made in our contracts.
n Unlike many other companies, Parking Management Services invests in locations it
operates through the purchase of major garages and parking facilities to accommodate its
hotel and related hospitality accounts.
n While the major parking companies seem to have lost touch with their accounts, all of
Parking Management Services’ management remains personally involved in operations.
Our goal is to focus on retention of accounts.
n While keeping abreast of emerging technology is vital to any business, we never urge a
client to spend essential funds on nonessential technology. Our competitors often oversell
expensive technology that does not serve the needs of your operation. Our mission is to
deliver complete accountability at the best possible cost.
n We want you to know us by speaking to our current clients. We take great pride in our
client relationships and will give you as many references as you may need to have the
confidence to choose us as your parking services provider.
