Having More Fun, with Less Storage Friction
Smart lockers installed
PIN access method to rent a locker
Successful locker payments per month (average, Feb 2025–Jun 2026)
Summary
Inflata Nation Colindale welcomes families to its indoor inflatable park in North London. Before joining the fun, guests need somewhere to leave bags, shoes, and loose belongings.
Inflata Nation already had traditional coin-based lockers, which were slow and inconvenient to use. As a result, guests often left items in public areas, while staff spent time helping them manage their belongings. The venue needed easier storage that would free its team to focus on the guest experience.
Inflata Nation’s Challenges
An ageing locker system
The existing lockers were slow and awkward to use, creating frustration during a routine part of the visit.
Belongings left out
Guests often left bags, shoes, and other items in public areas, adding to staff’s housekeeping responsibilities.
Repeated staff assistance
Helping visitors manage their belongings drew staff attention away from other parts of the guest experience.
An affordable upgrade
The venue needed better storage through an affordable model that could also generate additional locker revenue.
A Smarter Solution
Discovery
The priority was to make storing belongings easier for visitors while reducing the recurring support needed from the venue team.
Solution & Recommendation
LOKT delivered the revenue-share installation using Keynius Smarty and a contactless payment terminal, allowing guests to pay for storage at the venue.
Commercial Model
The shared revenue model combined free locker supply and installation with a share of rental income for the venue.
Why Keynius
With Keynius Smarty touchscreen terminal, guests create their own PIN to open a locker and use that same PIN to access it during their visit. Staff have complete access to reporting, and admin controls to adjust or override any lockers on demand.
The Results: Easier Storage, More Guest Focus
The new lockers simplified guest storage and reduced the need for staff assistance. The project brief reports increased locker revenue, while LOKT reports higher usage and improved customer feedback.
- Less staff support: Guests manage storage more independently, giving the team more time to focus on their visit.
- Regular locker use: An average of 486 successful locker payments per month between February 2025 and June 2026. LOKT reports increased usage compared with the previous locker system.
- Additional rental income: The project brief reports revenue growth, with the venue receiving an agreed share of locker takings.
- No upfront supply costs: Free supply and installation made the upgrade accessible through the revenue-share arrangement.
