Multi-Booth Studio

A multi-booth studio puts four to eight booths side by side in one unit, each with its own theme or background, with one attendant for all of them. Guests pick a booth the way they would pick a filter. Revenue grows with every booth while rent and staff stay the same, but so does the work: every booth has its own computer, printer and templates to keep in sync. This page shows how Pixture keeps several booths working as one.

How It Makes Money​

Guests pay per session, at a counter or at the booth. Packages, extra prints and themed booths priced above the plain one protect the ticket size once other studios open nearby.

The Setup​

1. Group the booths​

Create a Multi-Booth group under Booths > + New Booth, set How many photo booths?, and set it up once: the group's Templates, UI Project and Settings (pricing) tabs apply to every booth when you click Save for all booths. Each booth is still a normal booth, so a themed booth can have its own templates on top. See Multi-Booth Setup.

2. One computer and one Pix Pro per booth​

Each booth is paired to its own computer, and each computer needs its own Pix Pro. Add devices under Devices > Buy license; volume pricing applies as you add more. See Add a Second Computer or Move Pix Pro.

3. One queue, one cashier​

  • Queue: set up a shared queue for the group and show it on a screen at the venue with Open TV view.
  • Cashier: choose Pay at the booth, where each booth shows its own Payment screen, or Central cashier, where guests pay the attendant and get an 8-character code that works at any booth in the group. See Multi-Booth Setup.

4. Studio sessions​

Studios often sell time rather than a fixed number of shots: guests get a timed session, take as many photos as they like and pick their favourites for the print. See Run a Studio Mode Session.

5. Share printers and manage the team​

  • Two booths can share one printer through the computer's printer sharing. See Sharing One Printer Between Booths.
  • Give each attendant their own login under Settings > Members with a role that fits their job, instead of sharing yours. See Settings.

6. Compare booths​

Filter Transactions, the Dashboard and Health by booth to see which theme earns most and which printer needs attention. With studios in several places, give each booth a Region and filter by it. See Dashboard Home.

Typical Numbers​

From the Pixture Photobooth Playbook (September 2026), for four booths in one unit at about US$4 a session: 18 sessions a day per booth brings roughly US$8,640 a month, 25 about US$12,000, and 40 about US$19,200, against around US$35,000 to build and US$4,200 a month in fixed costs. These are estimates; mall rent decides most of the difference.
