Valet parking is a parking service offered by some restaurants, stores, and other businesses. In contrast to “self-parking”, where customers find a parking space on their own, customers’ vehicles are parked for them by a person called a valet. This service either requires a fee to be paid by the customer or is offered free of charge by the establishment.

As described above, several different types of venues offer valet parking. These include:
Single Event: These Valets are usually hired for just the evening and have assigned roles for efficiency. Parking may be at an off-site location that can handle many cars and can range from a dirt field to a multi-story parking lot. It might also be in the streets near the pickup location. At a wedding the cars may be stacked in order, respecting the hierarchy of importance of the visitors. For instance, at a Middle Eastern oil company executive party, the vehicles might be stacked in the order of the importance of the executives of the company.
Restaurant location: In this setting, parking is usually in the establishment’s own lot, but may also be a blocked-off section of a nearby parking house or multilayer lot. Often a dozen spots in front will be reserved for the big spenders or frequent visitors. When the restaurant is not busy, the nicest, most unusual or newest vehicles will be parked in front of the restaurant. This can be a sales and marketing stipulation. Restaurants trying to attract tourists may park rental vehicles or common vehicles in front. Expensive restaurants looking to attract less frugal customers may park expensive cars in front, including those of the restaurant employees or owners.
Hotel location: Hotels can have all types mentioned above. Lots, multi-layer lots, parking houses, hydraulic structures, parking in front, parking in back, shuttles for car owners, shuttles for valets and more. The biggest difference between hotels and other types is the cost. Hotels usually charge double or more for valet parking when compared to bars, restaurants and major events. Usually this is because of a captive market and the need for overnight parking.
Airports: In the United Kingdom, companies have offered valet parking at airports. The service is also offered when parking at an airport hotel.
Hospitals / Malls: Major shopping centers with high traffic volume often results in full parking facilities. Some malls offer valets (with fees) to park the vehicle at a temporary location or a reserved lot. Keys are given to the valet and a ticket is issued to the driver. Upon the return of patron, the valet will drive the vehicle back to the valet booth. Temporary mall parking valets may be found during major holiday periods
The main advantage of valet parking is convenience. Customers do not have to walk from a distant parking spot carrying heavy loads. Many handicapped drivers rely on valet parking when they can’t walk from and to a distant parking spot. Likewise, people who do not have time to search for a parking spot can valet park without the hassle. Valet parking is especially convenient in bad weather. Most professional valet attendants are well insured, and knowledgeable about nearly every make and model of car and their quirks; including aftermarket alarm systems, and keyless ignitions.
An advantage of valet parking is that it is possible to pack more cars into a given physical space, in what is generally known as “stack parking”. The valet holds all the keys and can park the cars two or more deep, as they can move cars out of the way to free a blocked-in car.
Another type of stacking is called lane stacking. This method is useful for events where guests all arrive around the same time, such as for a wedding reception. The point of this procedure is to keep the lane (or lanes) of incoming traffic flowing forward so that guests are spared a long wait time for valet service. This method is usually accomplished by designating one or two of the valets to be “stackers”, who simply “push” each car up fifty feet or so and prepare it for a quick “takeaway” for a returning valet to park. The process is then repeated until all cars are parked, utilizing as much lane space as possible, meanwhile keeping the lanes moving.
An additional advantage of valet parking, aside from stacking, is that valets can park cars closer and straighter than some customers may park. This will save the space in the parking lot or garage, and prevent the inconvenience of going to different floors by cramming everything in.
An efficient valet service will implement (or at least prepare) a system to handle the expected number of cars and guests. This may include, but is not limited to, any of the following: designated greeters, stackers, and parkers, a system for marking car locations, and sometimes even a shuttle service for valets at large venues in order to expedite car return times at the end of the event.

That was sustainable living, even then. We now have over 400 brands and we are still driven by purpose.
We want to do more good for our planet and our society – not just less harm. We want to act on the social and environmental issues facing the world and we want to enhance people’s lives with our products.

Creating a carbon shift
The chemical industry is the backbone to modern manufacturing, but it is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels, which provide 85% of the feedstock or raw fuel it uses.* You can’t make cleaning products without chemicals, but you can make chemicals without fossil fuels.
That’s why we’ve committed to eliminating virgin petrochemicals from our cleaning and laundry formulations. As part of Clean Future Strategy, Unilever developed the ‘Carbon Rainbow’ to help illustrate how we’re working to shift the carbon inputs used in our products to renewable and recycled sources.
We are working to replace non-renewable virgin fossil fuels, also known as ‘black’ carbon, with other renewable and recycled carbon sources. These include ‘purple’ carbon captured from the air or from industrial emissions, ‘blue’ carbon from sources in the ocean, ‘grey’ carbon from waste materials and ‘green’ carbon from plants and biomass.
The Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) on Wednesday released data which showed that the trade deficit widened to $25.5 billion in the first six months (July-December) of current fiscal year due to a significant surge in imports that outpaced the increase in exports. The deficit was $13.2 billion (or 106%) higher than the comparative period of previous fiscal year, it added. The annual trade deficit target of $28.4 billion has become irrelevant due to higher imports.
Imports during the first half increased two-thirds to nearly $40.6 billion. In absolute terms, the imports grew $16.1 billion, according to the PBS.
The central bank has introduced a cash margin requirement (CMR) for more imported goods besides curtailing consumer financing to ease the import pressure. However, these measures have failed to contain imports that have risen to a new peak.
PBS said that exports of goods remained at $2.7 billion in December, higher by 16% (or $374 million) over the same month of previous year. The trade deficit widened 85% year-on-year to $4.9 billion in December 2021.
The central bank’s foreign currency reserves are constantly on the decline and dipped further to $17.9 billion, as the impact of a $3 billion Saudi Arabian loan is being diluted.
The State Bank of Pakistan on Wednesday further amended foreign exchange regulations requiring exporters to bring export proceeds.
