Entrances stop being a checkout
Payment happens before the lane. The lane confirms the plate.
Events & stadiums
Move cars, not clipboards. Event parking without the booth line.
Sell event flats and prepaid passes from a link or QR code. Cameras recognize paid plates at the entrance. Live occupancy sends the next car to a lot that still has stalls.

Where it breaks
The slowest step sits at the narrowest point
Event traffic backs up where cash, tickets, and full lots meet. Spot moves each of those decisions off the entrance lane.
01
Booths and ticket scans slow every entrance
Prepaid and permitted plates are on the record before the car arrives. LPR at the lane recognizes them without a stop.
02
Fans commit to the first lot, even when it is full
Live occupancy and wayfinding guide drivers to lots with open stalls, so back lots fill too.
03
Hourly pricing does not fit an event
Sell a fixed, prepaid flat for the event window and keep hourly session plans for the rest of the week.
04
Overflow lots go unenforced
Scan to Cite puts plate reads on staff phones for the day. No cameras or installation needed.
The platform
Pricing, entry, guidance, and payouts on one record
Every product, plate read, and payment for the event lands in the same system your team already uses for the rest of the week.
What runs game day
Prepaid flats, session plans, and sell schedules per lot.
Paid plates vend on a local LPR match. Retrofits existing relays.
Real-time occupancy and routes to lots with open stalls.
Short prkg.link codes you retarget without reprinting signs.
Handheld enforcement for overflow and pop-up lots.
Split each stay between venue, operator, and vendors at payment time.
Entry
Paid plates are already expected. The lane just confirms it.
Fans buy before they leave home or scan a QR code on arrival. Cameras match the plate locally, including near-miss reads, so the entrance is a confirmation instead of a checkout.

Evidence on file
Handheld payments
Didn't prepay? Pay at the lane.
Lot staff take a card by tap, chip or swipe on a handheld reader for drive-up fans. The plate joins the paid list on the spot, so cameras and gates recognize it like any prepaid pass.
No booth to staff
Attendants walk the line and take payment where the cars already are.
The plate becomes the pass
Each handheld sale adds the plate to the paid list for that event. No paper pass to hand out.
Same record, same payouts
Lane sales split through Automated Payouts at payment time, the same way online sales do.

For the venue
What the event day actually feels like
Less work at the lane, more lots in use, and revenue that reconciles itself.
Back lots fill too
Live occupancy sends drivers past the full lot to the one with open stalls.
One catalog for every kind of event
Event flats, hourly sessions, and permit-only lots side by side.
Payouts without a spreadsheet
Revenue splits at payment time and pays out on your schedule.
The entrance
Cash booth vs a plate that is already paid
The same cameras that admit paid plates also flag the ones that are not.
The entrance
With Spot
Plate = pass
Prepaid before arrival, or paid at the lane on a handheld. Recognized at the lane, routed to an open lot.
Without
Booth line
Cash, a fixed booth, and paper passes at the narrowest point of the night.
Common questions.
Don't see yours? Talk to us.
Can we sell a flat event rate and hourly parking at the same venue?
Yes. Each lot can carry catalog products with their own rate plans: a fixed, prepaid flat for the event window on game day, and session plans with hourly ladders and caps the rest of the week. Sell schedules control when each product is on sale.
Do we need gates for camera-based entry?
No. LPR cameras recognize prepaid and permitted plates at the entrance, with or without an arm. If you have gates, Gates & kiosks retrofits onto existing relays so paid plates vend and everyone else pays at a QR code, kiosk, or with lot staff on a handheld.
How do fans pay?
From a QR code on a sign or cone, a link you send with tickets, or the Spot Parking App. At the lot, staff can also take a card by tap, chip or swipe on a handheld reader. Manage My Visit checkout works in the browser without an account, and card data is handled on PCI Level 1 tokenized checkout.
Can staff take payment at the lot for drivers who didn't prepay?
Yes. Lot staff type in or confirm the plate on a handheld reader and take a card by tap, chip or swipe for the event product. The car counts as paid right away, so LPR and gates recognize it the same way they recognize a prepaid pass. Handheld sales split through Automated Payouts the same way online sales do.
Can we run enforcement for a single event?
Yes. Scan to Cite runs on phones with no cameras and no installation, so staff can enforce a one-day event or overflow lot using the same citation lifecycle as fully automated lots.
How is revenue split between the venue, operator, and vendors?
Automated Payouts routes each stay to the right recipients at payment time, then pays out daily, weekly, twice a month, or monthly. No month-end reconciliation spreadsheet.
