A coat check system is provided to replace traditional coat check services with a conveyor assembly, storage units, and a control terminal. The need for human attendants is negated, with patrons at establishments interacting with the control terminal in order to gain access to one of the storage units. A drive mechanism moves the storage units along a track of the conveyor assembly, with the storage units being moved toward an item transfer section to grant a patron access to one of the storage units. The storage unit can be open (for example a simple hangar) or enclosed, including a lateral surface, floor, drain, air vent, and door for access. Interaction with the control terminal is facilitated by a user input device and an information output device which are mounted into a housing of the control terminal. Multiple payment options and wireless connectivity are also provided for the control terminal.
