What Parking is — multi-lot facility operations

Parking runs the operations of one or more parking facilities: gate sessions, reservations, validations, multi-zone occupancy, and rate plans.

Tabs:
• **Dashboard** — real-time occupancy across lots; revenue; gate status.
• **Lots** — the facilities themselves (addresses, total capacity, gate counts).
• **Zones** — per-lot sub-areas with their own capacity and rate plan (Long-term / Short-term / Valet / EV).
• **Reservations** — pre-booked spots with start/end windows.
• **Sessions** — active parking sessions: vehicles currently in.
• **Passes** — recurring passes (monthly, employee, resident) and pass types.
• **Validations** — pass / ticket validation history.
• **Settings** — rate plans, gate hardware, integration config.

Built for: airport short-term/long-term, hospital parking, university garages, city-owned garages, hotel parking, event-day parking.

Core flows: open a session at a gate, look up a vehicle by plate or reservation, extend or void a reservation, validate a parking pass, monitor zone occupancy live.
