Digital maps are great for driving, but poor for comparing. Guests were driving blind, unsure which garage was the best option, leading to wasted time circling the block.

This friction spilled over to the front desk. Staff spent valuable time repeating the same complex directions, acting as human GPS rather than hospitality hosts.

Each parking card features a prominent QR code. This isn't just a link to a website; it triggers the user's native map app with the exact coordinates of the garage entrance pre-loaded.

This removes the error-prone step of typing addresses manually. It creates a seamless interaction that respects the user's preference for their own device and apps.

The cards show: Capacity, Opening Hours, Navigation Address, Features, and Price for comparison.

The color coding distinguishes between "Hotel" and "Parking Spot" to reduce visual processing time.
