Setting up a photobooth shop from A to Z

The seven steps from signed lease to opening day.

One: confirm the location with a traffic count. Two: lock the layout — booth positions, queue line, backdrop wall, staff corner.

Three: electrical and lighting. Four: machine delivery, assembly and calibration. Five: print templates and pricing.

Six: staff training on daily operation, consumables and print quality. Seven: soft opening with a promotional print package to build reviews.

From delivery to opening we typically need three to five days on site.

Demand keeps expanding beyond events into permanent shops, malls, cafés and hotels, which is why most of our machines now go into fixed locations.

Print cost per photo, printer availability of consumables in Vietnam, how the booth is serviced, and how quickly you can get parts.

A booth runs unattended for hours and gives every guest a printed photo immediately, so many events now use both.

Our guide covers pricing, location choice, staffing, print cost and machine selection — and we walk through the numbers with you before you buy.
