Booking

The customer has most likely booked the storage beforehand on their phone. Once the customer has booked, directions will be sent to their email and SMS.

Most customers do show up for their bookings, but about 20 % do not due to changes in plans, etc. When your shop has a booking, you’ll receive an email or text (Your preference) saying who booked storage, the number of bags, the date, etc.

Drop Off

You need to ensure they have started the storage timer using the “start storage timer” button on their phone.

When the customer has activated the counter clock, remind the customer to snap a picture of their bags for identification upon pick-up.

Pick Up

When the customer returns to pick up the luggage, you ask them to stop the storage timer by using the “stop storage timer” button on their booking page.

You’ll receive a confirmation email and SMS once the customer has checked out. Before handing out the luggage, ensure that the picture of the bags matches the bags handed out.

FAQ

What percentage of travelers from LuggageHero purchase items in store?

While some companies will give you a percentage, we truly have no way of knowing. What we do know is that tourist buy souvenirs and gifts. But they can't do that without being in your shop. We increase the chances of you selling to these travelers by putting them in your shop not once, but twice with check in and check out of their luggage

I don’t have any space to store luggage

Don't worry. Our system works with as little as 1 piece of luggage and you can always be put on standby if you don’t have any available capacity for periods of time. If you can only receive 1 piece of luggage, you can still be part of the concept. However, we do recommend being able to store at least 5 pieces of luggage so that you will receive a higher income, as we pay you per piece of luggage.

Can a customer tip when completing their booking?

YES! We see a large percentage of our customers who tip after they collect their bags. This is, of course, always related to the experience the customer had when dropping off and collecting their bags.

How much income do I make per luggage?

It depends on how much time the person stores their luggage with you. On average people will store 2-3 pieces of luggage for 5-6 hours.
We give you a fixed commission per luggage per hour. On top of this, a large percentage of our LuggageHeroes make additional sales from their existing selection of products.

How does it work? Is there any cash handling involved?

No. Everything is online. When the tourists book their luggage into your place, they authorize LuggageHero to charge them for the hours spent storing their luggage. The moment you hand over their luggage and confirm a check-out, the receipt is sent to the customer online. There's no receipt or paperwork from your side.

What if the luggage gets lost, damaged or stolen?

We insure the luggage for you. Your only job is putting the luggage away from public access and we take all the risks. The only requirement is that bookings are checked-in via the LuggageHero App.

Is it safe being a LuggageHero?

We are a friendly service which has been serving hundreds of thousands of happy customers. We have done that by providing some of the best security for our LuggageHeroes and customers.

What if my place is closed some days?

The LuggageHero admin can handle irregular opening hours and you control this yourself.

What if my shop doesn’t have scheduled opening hours?

Unfortunately we cannot have any LuggageHero with shifting opening hours on a day-to-day basis without any scheduled hours.

How can my employees be instructed in these procedures?

Our platform requires absolutely no administration from our LuggageHeroes. The system is a self-service for the customers. That means you can receive luggage from day one and thereby starting your new revenue stream today.

How much time is involved in receiving luggage?

We usually say, it takes no longer than making a cappuccino, but you earn more on receiving a piece of luggage. You don’t even have any expenses besides the time putting the luggage away safe. Then you might end up selling a cappuccino anyway.
