Next Level Valet

What Next Level Valet does

Next Level Valet is a Texas-based parking management and valet services company founded in 2012 by co-founders Hunter Burkey and Andies Shepherd, operating across four major Texas metros — Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. The company provides a full suite of services including private event valet (weddings, corporate events, galas, concerts, charity events), hotel valet and bellmen services, fine dining restaurant valet with revenue-sharing validation programs, mixed-use development parking management, healthcare facility patient/visitor parking, chauffeur services, shuttle services (golf cart and 15-passenger vans), and Level 2-4 security guards. Customers include a roster of enterprise accounts such as Ferrari, Lamborghini Austin, Driskill Hotel, The Austonian, Windrose Tower, Dell Children's Ascension, and Hai Hospitality's Uchi and Uchiko restaurants.

The underlying technology stack is anchored by the Vaya Valet software platform, which enables ticketless valet operations, digital payments via Apple Pay and Google Pay, text-message guest communications, real-time guest feedback monitoring, and License Plate Recognition (LPR) entry systems for automated vehicle identification. Real-time analytics tools support parking space optimization and congestion reduction, and the company carries a $15M insurance policy covering automotive, property, and garage liability — exceeding requirements in every market served.

The business operates as a privately held LLC with no external institutional investment. Revenue is generated through custom event pricing (setup fee plus hourly rate per valet attendant, with $45 per 15-minute overage) and recurring managed-services contracts for parking lot and garage management at hotels, mixed-use properties, and healthcare facilities. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct outreach, a four-step website quote request form, free parking density planning consultations, and referral channels. The company emphasizes a deliberate, quality-focused growth philosophy and reports a 100% show-up rate over 13 years and a 4.9-star rating across 200+ Google reviews.
