Stop the cash bleed. Then go win the big contracts.
A two-project proposal to protect the cash you are already making at every valet stand, then open the outbound lane to the venues and planners driving 150-to-200-car events.
Cash is walking away from your valet stands.
Your read on the ground is that four to five cars per day per location are being handled without hitting the ledger. At $20 per car across five restaurant valet operations, that puts the estimated monthly cash loss between $12,000 and $15,000 across the business. Not a hardware problem. A visibility problem. Cameras are the fastest way to close it.
Estimates based on Chris's operational read. Actual recovery depends on shift patterns and deterrent effect.
Reolink Go PT Ultra. Standardized across all five locations.
Chosen for four reasons: 4K resolution reads plates and hand-level cash exchanges, pan-tilt-zoom means Chris can pivot the view from his phone, solar power removes any wiring dependency at the valet stand, and there are no monthly subscription fees per camera.
Sharp enough to read license plates and clearly see cash exchanges at hand height.
Full remote camera control from the Reolink app on Chris's phone. Pivot to follow the action.
SP2 solar panel and rechargeable battery. No wall power, no cabling to the valet stand.
No subscription for camera features. Only cost is a T-Mobile prepaid SIM at roughly $10 per camera per month.
Live at all five locations in three weeks.
Decebal walks each of the five valet stand locations, confirms pole mount options, captures required restaurant permissions, and orders hardware.
Reolink cameras and solar panels shipped and staged. SIM cards activated. All 5 units pre-configured before install.
Physical install across all 5 restaurants over 2-3 days. Chris trained on Reolink app. Live view confirmed at every location.
30-day support window for tuning, angle adjustments, and any hardware swaps.
- Camera provisioning and app setup
- Pole mount fabrication and physical install
- Weatherproofing and cable sealing
- SIM activation and network testing
- Restaurant permission letter template
- Valet zone signage
- Chris trained on Reolink app and footage retrieval
- Restaurant owner sign-off at each location
- T-Mobile prepaid data plan billed direct to ASV (~$10 per camera per month)
- Communication to valet staff that cameras are being installed
- Any changes to shift procedures based on what footage shows
One-time cost. Multi-year system.
Hardware and materials billed at cost plus 15% handling. Install and setup billed as a flat project fee. No recurring subscription to Decebal.
If cameras stop even 25% of estimated cash loss across all 5 locations, that recovers $3,000 to $3,750 in the first month alone. Full payback on the $5,461 investment lands inside week 6 conservatively, week 2 aggressively. Year one net recovery estimate: $30,000 to $45,000.
The system that lands the big contracts and gets paid on them.
Scaleworks is the growth engine ASV needs to move from ad-hoc restaurant valet into wedding venues, corporate galas, and 200-car events. One integrated system. Outbound to the right buyers, pipeline visibility on every opportunity, proposals delivered fast, and cash collected on time. Built specifically for the way ASV needs to grow.
AI-powered outreach to wedding venues, event planners, corporate hospitality directors, and gala coordinators across Cleveland and NEO. Personalized at scale, sequenced follow-up, meetings booked into the calendar.
Every venue conversation, every planner referral, every corporate lead tracked in one place. Nothing falls through the cracks. Chris sees the full pipeline from first touch to signed contract.
Branded ASV proposals generated in minutes, sent by email, signed digitally. No more back-and-forth PDFs. When a venue wants a quote, they get it same-day.
Deposits collected up front, invoices auto-sent, payment reminders automated. No more chasing venues 60 days after the event to get paid.
Cleveland-area venues hosting 150+ guest weddings. The goal is preferred vendor placement, not one-off booking.
NEO wedding and event planners driving 20 or more event bookings per year. One planner relationship equals recurring pipeline.
Hospitality directors, gala coordinators, and corporate event firms booking recurring valet across the year.
A single 200-car wedding at $20 per car is a $4,000 gross event. One incremental large event per month that ASV would not have gotten otherwise pays for Scaleworks 2.3 times over. Two incremental events per month is 4.6x return. Compare against a full-time BDR (Business Development Representative) at $60,000 per year plus benefits, and there is no comparison. Scaleworks handles the work of a full outbound team at a fraction of the cost, and it never misses a follow-up.
A full-time BDR in the Cleveland market runs $60,000 base salary plus benefits, taxes, tools, and management overhead. Realistic all-in cost: $80,000 to $90,000 per year, or $6,700 to $7,500 per month. Scaleworks delivers the same outbound function, plus pipeline tracking, proposals, and cash collection, for $1,750 per month. Roughly 25 percent of the cost of hiring one BDR, and you never lose the person to a competitor.
The full picture.
This is the full expansion plan. It does not need to happen all at once. The recommended sequence is Project 1 first (highest urgency, fastest ROI, stops the cash bleed) and Project 2 next once the cameras are live and the loss prevention system is delivering. Each project can be approved independently.
How this actually rolls out.
Project 1 approved. Camera site walkthrough at all 5 locations. Hardware ordered.

Same team. Same accountability. Both projects.
Decebal already runs the ASV website and Google Business Profile. That work continues under the existing arrangement, unchanged. What this proposal adds is the loss prevention system that protects your cash today, and the Scaleworks growth engine that goes after the venues and planners driving the big events. Same John. Same phone number. Same accountability. When something needs adjustment, you text John. That is the entire chain of command across both projects.
John Bikis manages the project end to end. No subcontractor handoffs.
Hardware selected specifically for reading plates, seeing cash exchanges, and operating without Wi-Fi at restaurant locations.
Each project can be approved and executed independently. No forced bundling.
Approve Project 1 and we start this week.
Reply yes and Decebal schedules the camera site walkthrough at all 5 locations within 5 business days. Project 2 is ready to trigger when you are, on your timeline.
