No typing. No searching. No phone required. Just tap and take.
Tap & Take™ is an automated coat check system that connects each numbered RFID card or key fob to a specific numbered storage position on the garment conveyor. When the guest taps the credential, the controller identifies that position and moves it directly to the configured pickup point.
The employee does not need to enter a phone number, search a database, walk through rows of garments or remember where a coat was stored. The guest does not need a phone, an application, an SMS message or a paper ticket during normal retrieval.
The result is a faster and more consistent coat check process for guests, attendants and facility managers.
Many digital coat check systems replace the paper ticket but leave the slowest part of the process unchanged. An employee may still need to enter customer information, find a record, walk to the storage area, search for the garment and carry it back to the counter.
Tap & Take™ automates the physical retrieval. The numbered RFID credential calls the corresponding conveyor position, and the conveyor brings that position to the pickup point.
Traditional systems digitize the ticket. Tap & Take™ automates the retrieval.

The identification method is simple and visible. Every storage position on the conveyor has a number, and the guest receives a card or key fob displaying the matching number. An RFID chip inside that credential is programmed in the controller for the same position.
Visible number + RFID identity + conveyor position = one clear retrieval process.

The short demonstration shows the essential sequence: the credential is presented, the controller identifies the assigned position, and the conveyor moves that position to the service point.
The pickup point is not restricted to one universal factory location. It can be configured at the selected place on the conveyor according to the service counter, room layout and operating requirements of the facility.
This allows the automated coat check system to be designed around the building instead of forcing the building to adapt to one fixed equipment arrangement.
A mobile phone should not become a point of failure in the coat retrieval process. A battery can run out, cellular service may be weak, an SMS message can be delayed, or a phone number may be entered incorrectly.
Tap & Take™ removes those unnecessary dependencies. The guest uses the numbered RFID credential issued for the stored garment.

Coatroom pressure often peaks within a short period. After a theater performance, conference session, banquet or special event, many guests may request their coats at almost the same time.
In a conventional coatroom, every request can require an employee to walk to a rack, read a number, locate the hanger and return to the counter. Tap & Take™ reduces repeated walking by bringing the requested conveyor position to the attendant.
The system can be designed for:
Fresh222 provides a 5-year limited warranty on the conveyor structure and mechanical moving components. The complete warranty scope, conditions and exclusions are defined in the written quotation and project documentation.
Fresh222 designs coat check conveyor systems around the usable dimensions and operating requirements of each facility. A solution may include a single conveyor, several connected conveyors or multi-level garment storage.
Because the requested position is brought to the attendant, the layout can reduce the floor area needed for employees to walk through storage rows.
We design automated coat check systems for new construction and existing coatrooms.
The illustrated project example compares an existing manual layout with a proposed automated layout in the same room. The design increases the illustrated capacity from 1,150 to 1,200 coats, reduces the illustrated staffing requirement from six attendants to two, and frees a substantial portion of the floor area.
Actual capacity, staffing and space savings depend on the building, operating procedures, service standards, peak traffic and final engineering.
Each project is configured around the facility's coatroom design, required capacity and service process.
How does the system know which coat to retrieve?
Each numbered RFID card or key fob is programmed in the controller for a specific numbered conveyor position. When the credential is read, the controller calls that position.
Why is the same number displayed on the credential and the conveyor?
The matching visible numbers provide a clear reference for attendants and guests and make check-in easy to verify.
Does the guest need a mobile phone?
No. Normal retrieval uses the numbered RFID credential. No application, phone number or SMS message is required.
Does an attendant need to search for the coat?
No. The conveyor moves the assigned position to the pickup point. The attendant completes the final handoff.
Can the pickup point be placed anywhere on the conveyor?
The pickup point can be configured at the selected project location, subject to the conveyor route, equipment design and installation requirements.
Can the system be installed in an existing coatroom?
Yes. Existing coatrooms can be evaluated using the room dimensions, ceiling height, required capacity, access points and structural conditions.
Can an organization's existing card be used?
Integration may be possible when the existing credential technology is compatible with the reader and control system.
What is covered by the five-year warranty?
The 5-year limited warranty applies to the conveyor structure and mechanical moving components. Complete terms are supplied with the quotation and project documentation.
Can I obtain an approximate project cost online?
Yes. The Get Estimate tool provides an approximate calculation. A final proposal requires the coatroom dimensions, storage capacity, conveyor configuration and selected options.
Send us the coatroom dimensions, required capacity, facility type, preferred pickup-point location and expected peak visitor flow. We will review the information and recommend an appropriate system configuration.
