Five Star Valet

What Five Star Valet does

Five Star Valet is a privately held, Naples, Florida-based luxury valet parking and transportation services company founded in 2003 by Joey Rock, who previously served as Head Doorman at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples. The company delivers resort-style valet parking services to enterprise clients across six verticals: private country clubs and golf/yacht/beach clubs, luxury hotels and resorts, restaurants and retail/mixed-use properties, healthcare facilities, luxury residential buildings, and corporate/community events. Five Star Valet operates turnkey outsourced valet programs or supplements existing in-house teams, with services customized per venue and delivered by approximately 200 W2 valet associates who receive benefits, 401k, and workman's comp coverage, and who are required to complete the company's proprietary Standards of Excellence training and ongoing recertification.

The business model is contract-based B2B managed services: pricing is quote-based and tailored to client scope, contract length, and service intensity, with multi-year engagements the norm and no published tier pricing. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales targeting general managers and property decision-makers at hotels, clubs, hospitals, and event venues; client acquisition is driven by referrals, testimonials, and a regional luxury brand reputation built over 20+ years. There is no disclosed software platform, app, API, or AI capability — the underlying 'technology' is operational: training programs, recertification, and labor deployment.

Five Star Valet has been part of the Hoffmann Family of Companies, a diversified Naples-based conglomerate with 100+ operating businesses and 22,500+ employees, since January 2020, which provides corporate backing, cross-portfolio referral potential, and a national-brand umbrella. Operations remain regionally concentrated in Southwest Florida, primarily Naples and Palm Beach. The company serves 60+ recurring clients and supports over 200 private events annually.
