I can't understand why establishment owners would be ok with this.  Keys are worth more than the $12.00 it costs to make them.  They start a moving, dangerous, costly machine. 

 

So, if you are having valet at your home or business, make sure keys are secured in a steel lock box.

Appearance is a major factor to consider when hiring a valet service.  Remember that they are the first impression for your event.  Now, it's not necessary for them to have a 3 piece suit but they should be well presented.  Appearance is also more than the clothes they wear, it’s how they act.  Things such as talking on the phone, texting, smoking, language and conversation amongst workers should be in check.

A good contract will make sure to clarify who is responsible if something goes wrong.  And you as the owner should never be liable.  Make sure to obtain the necessary insurance from your contractor.
