Clayton Valet & Parking Management

What Clayton Valet & Parking Management does

Clayton Valet & Parking Management is a privately held, family-founded service company established in 2000 and headquartered in Clayton, Missouri (a St. Louis suburb). It provides managed valet parking, healthcare staffing, hospitality guest services, and parking-facility management to hospitals, hotels, casinos, universities, restaurants, event venues, and residential communities, primarily across the St. Louis and Kansas City metropolitan areas with additional operations in Lawrence, Kansas and the Lake of the Ozarks.

The company's core offerings include Valet Parking Services, Healthcare Management Services (valet, shuttle, garage management, patient transport, greeters, concierge, security), Hospitality Management Services (coat check, bellman, crowd control, ticketless valet), and Parking Lot & Garage Management (monthly parking, maintenance, fee collection, snow removal). Add-on lines include Personal Driver Services billed at flat hourly rates and pandemic-era services such as temperature-screening attendants and COVID-relief staffing. The technology footprint is minimal: the company is fundamentally labor-driven, with a website, online quote/inquiry forms, and social-media channels as the primary digital surface; no proprietary software, AI, or platform is disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are managed-services contracts with healthcare and hospitality clients, supplemented by event-quote-based transactional work. The go-to-market is direct, enterprise field sales with dedicated account management, an online event-quote funnel, and a multi-service inquiry portal. The December 2023 merger with Aristocrat Valet brought additional hotel, country club, and private-event expertise into the combined entity under President Brad Kalish. Leadership (Brad Kalish, Chris Rodriguez, Jacob Faulkner) remains founder/management-based with no disclosed institutional investors or external funding.
