Rental Smart Lockers that Turn Storage into Revenue
Guests rent a locker in seconds — pay by card or phone, stow bags and prohibited items, and enjoy the event. No app, no attendant, no coat-check line. Your venue keeps the revenue.
Trusted at Sphere Las Vegas & Rogers Arena · self-service payments · indoor & outdoor · cloud-managed
Self-service rentals in three steps — no staff, no lines.
Guests handle the whole rental themselves at the locker bank or on their phone, so gates keep moving and staff stay on higher-value work.
Pick a locker & pay
Guests choose a locker size at the touchscreen console or scan a QR code, then pay with credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. No app to download.
Stow & enjoy the event
Bags, jackets, and prohibited items go in; the door locks. Guests can re-open their locker during the event whenever they need something.
Grab & go — locker auto-frees
At the end of the visit, guests collect their items and the locker returns to the pool for the next rental — no attendant, no key returns.
Own the lockers. Keep the revenue.
Most locker operators install "free" hardware, then take a share of every rental — forever. Smiota owns the full hardware and payment stack, so we can offer the model operators can't: you own the asset and keep what it earns.
Buy or lease-to-own
- Every rental dollar is yours — no perpetual revenue share
- You set pricing per event, day, or hour from the dashboard
- Integrated payments: credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay
- Real-time occupancy & revenue reporting per bank and per event
- At event scale, the lockers pay for themselves — then keep earning
"Free" hardware, forever fees
- A cut of every rental goes to the operator — indefinitely
- Pricing and guest experience controlled by someone else
- Your foot traffic, their recurring revenue
- Limited visibility into utilization and earnings
Built for event-day crowds — and for the balance sheet.

Rental smart lockers, answered.
How do guests rent a locker?
They walk up to the touchscreen console (or scan a QR code), pick a locker size, and pay with a credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. The door opens, they stow their items, and they can re-open the locker during their visit. No app download or account required.
Who keeps the rental revenue?
You do. Smiota sells or leases the lockers to the venue — we don't take a share of each rental. That's different from revenue-share operators, who install hardware "free" and then take a cut of every transaction indefinitely.
Can we change pricing for different events?
Yes. Rates are set from the cloud dashboard per event, per day, or per hour — so a concert night, a matinee, and an off-day can each have their own pricing.
Do rental lockers work outdoors?
Yes. Smiota builds weather-resistant outdoor banks for gates, plazas, and queues, alongside heavy-gauge steel indoor units for concourses and lobbies. Both support ADA-compliant door mixes.
How do they help with clear-bag policies?
Fans arriving with prohibited bags or items don't have to walk back to their car or abandon belongings at the gate — they rent a locker in seconds and head inside. Security keeps its policy; guests keep their stuff; gates keep moving.
Where are Smiota rental lockers deployed today?
