Minuteman is extremely excited to announce the opening of our first new hotel account in 2013! We were awarded the contract with the very classy Hotel Zetta at the beginning of this year, and we have officially started valet services there this week. The Hotel Zetta is a 116-room luxury hotel boasting an innovative, creative vibe in one of the edgiest cities in the country. They are located in the heart of San Francisco’s SoMa district, walking distance to Union Square.

Minuteman will be providing 24 hour valet service for hotel travelers, guests, and local professionals. San Francisco is a hub of new businesses technology, and we can’t wait to keep spreading our services throughout the Bay Area!

Minuteman takes great pride in recognizing the success of each and every one of our outstanding team members.

The most recent recipient of an honorable award and special recognition is Thumbelina Tellez, Self-Parking Cashier at one of our hospitals in Southern California. Thumbelina was presented with the hospital’s “Values in Action” award on Thursday April 26th due to her commitment to excellence and achievement of the medical center’s core values. The values include Dignity, Service, Excellence, and Justice. The “Values in Action” award is an extremely prestigious honor which is not usually awarded to contracted employees. Minuteman is very proud of Thumbelina for her efforts as she continues to make a positive first and last impression on both the medical center and Minuteman Parking.

From all of us at Minuteman, we want to extend a warm thank you and appreciation to Thumbelina and everyone else exemplifying our company values every day. Keep up the good work!

Minuteman is proud to announce that our very own Vice President of Finance, Wilson Tang, was honorably recognized by National Parking Association magazine. The magazine featured Wilson in their September 2011 issue. He was specifically chosen to give his professional executive perspective on finance and management due to his success at Minuteman Parking and his past achievements in auditing and executive positions with Nestle, Dole, and GTE.

As Vice President of Finance, it is Wilson’s job to monitor profits, growth, and foresee future revenue. This includes but is not limited to: responsibility of all accounting, payroll, and timekeeping, as well as claims administrations. It is the Vice President’s job to not only manage all the company’s finances and make sure everything is balanced and running smoothly, but to also ensure warm customer care is provided and solicited.

Wilson joined the Minuteman family in 2006. After just 5 short years with him aboard, Minuteman Parking has seen phenomenal progress and exponential growth. With a shared goal of maximizing revenue while simultaneously providing unbeatable customer service, we plan to maintain this outstanding reputation. Minuteman would like to extend a sincere thank you to Wilson for all his hard work. Here’s to the next 5 years!

Minuteman Parking Company was proud to be the Crystal Sponsor of the Seattle Marriott Golf Classic last week in Seattle, WA. The golf tournament was held at Bear Creek Country Club and raised money to support Seattle Children’s Uncompensated Care program.

Since 1907 Seattle Children’s has been caring for children from the Pacific Northwest and around the Nation.  The funds raised from the Marriott Charity Golf Classic will be directed to Uncompensated Care at Children’s, which will ensure that no child is ever turned away due to their family’s inability to pay.  All of the donations support a healthier future for Seattle Children’s increasing number of patients. Each year, Children’s treats over 190,000 children, many of whose families cannot afford the cost of their medical care.  This year, the hospital expects to provide over $100 million in uncompensated care for those in need.

The day-long golf event was a huge success that ended with a dinner buffet and silent auction. Minuteman would like to thank all of the golfers who played in this year’s tournament. The team at Minuteman is fully committed to philanthropy and our Marriott partners in the Northwest.

We are proud to announce that Minuteman Parking has been selected to provide valet services at Antelope Valley Hospital, located in Lancaster, CA.  The 420-bed hospital was established in 1955. Below are the hospital’s mission, vision, and values, which have played an integral role in the hospital’s continued growth and expansion over the last 50 years:

Mission
Our mission at Antelope Valley Healthcare District is to provide quality service with care, compassion and respect.

Vision
Our vision for Antelope Valley Healthcare District is to deliver excellent service with the most qualified people and the latest in technology.

Values
We will pursue excellence, embrace change with innovation, promote partnerships with clients while providing value and service to the community.

Complimentary valet services for hospital patients and visitors will be provided daily. Antelope Valley Hospital is the 12th hospital in Southern California that Minuteman Parking Company is servicing. We look forward to making Antelope Valley a part of the Minuteman family.

We are delighted to announce that Hotel Oceana Santa Monica is our newest hotel property. Years ago, 849 Ocean Avenue was a respectable apartment complex where Stan Laurel (of Laurel & Hardy) once lived. Yet its location, and the lively neighborhood in which it stood, begged for innovation. Visionaries took control and converted the structure into the Oceana Santa Monica, a luxury boutique hotel catering to those who command the privacy and comforts of a home away from home environment. In 2007, the hotel reopened after a $16 million renovation to offer the ambience of a private beach club, as airy as the shores it overlooks.

Valet and bell service will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hotel Oceana will join our growing list of clients in Southern California. Minuteman also provides services at neighboring properties, which are located close by in Santa Monica, CA.
