No. The booth is fully self-service. We install, configure, and train you. Day-to-day operation requires no technical knowledge. The AI handles photo transformations, UPI handles payments, and the printer handles output — all automatically.
Where should I place the photo booth for maximum revenue?
High footfall locations work best: malls, gaming zones, tourist spots, restaurants, hotels, airports. The ROI calculator helps you estimate returns for your specific location based on expected footfall and conversion rates.
Do I need to hire staff to run the photo booth?
No. The booth is self-service with built-in UPI payments. Customers walk up, pay, choose an AI effect, and get their photo — all without any human assistance. No staff overhead.
What are the monthly operating costs for a photo booth?
Electricity, internet, and print consumables typically total INR 3,000-5,000 per month. No Bamigos royalty or franchise fee — you keep 100% of booth revenue. Venue rent or mall revenue share (typically 15–30%) applies separately.
