Melbourne: Pubs - Bars - Markets

The photo booth that pays your venue twice.

We install a permanent photo booth in your pub, bar or market stall, free of charge. Guests tap to pay, you take a share of every session, and every guest email captured at the booth lands in your venue's own mailing list.

How it works

From chat to earning in four steps.

Zero cost, zero effort from your team. You provide a 1 × 2 metre patch of floor and a power point. We do everything else.

1

Chat & site check

We visit (we're based in Preston, not interstate), check your space and agree the perfect spot for the booth.

2

We build & brand it

Your booth is styled to suit your fit-out, with your logo and colours on every print and share screen.

3

We install after hours

One visit, zero disruption to trade. The booth goes in, gets tested, and goes live on a standard power point.

4

You earn & your list grows

Guests tap to pay. You get a monthly payout, and every consented guest email lands in your mailing list.

Your revenue

What your venue actually earns.

$0

Cost to your venue. Ever.

The booth, the install, the paper, the repairs, the support: all funded by us.

Your venue takes a share of every paid session, paid monthly with a plain-English statement showing exactly how many sessions ran. Before you sign anything, we'll model an earnings estimate for your foot traffic, with no surprises and no fine print.

  • ✓ Monthly payout, with a session-by-session statement
  • ✓ No lock-in contract, cancel anytime
  • ✓ Free removal if it's not working for your venue
  • ✓ We restock, repair and maintain, always free

The Select Booth difference

Every session adds a subscriber to your list.

Other booth companies keep the guest data, or bury it in a feature list. We built Select Booth around handing it to you.

📸

1. Tap & snap

A guest pays with their card or phone and takes their photos. No app, no coins, no staff needed.

✉️

2. Email for photos

Prints come out either way. To get their digital copies, they enter their email and explicitly opt in to hearing from your venue.

📬

3. Straight into your list

The consented contact lands in your venue's mailing list. Gig announcements, specials, functions: it's your audience now.

Export your list whenever you like, or plug the booth straight into the mailing platform you already use. Every month you also get a simple summary: sessions run, emails captured, and your busiest nights.

Opt-in happens at the booth, so your list is consent-based and handled in line with the Australian Privacy Principles: a list you can actually email.

The booth

The bit your customers will love.

Sessions only happen if guests love the booth, so we built one they queue for.

📸

Instant prints + digital

Glossy prints on the spot, plus digital copies and GIFs delivered straight to their inbox.

💳

Tap to pay

Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. No app to download, no coins, no cash handling for your staff.

🖼️

Your brand on every shot

Your logo and colours on every print and share screen, free promotion every time one hits Instagram.

🎨

Wrapped to match your fit-out

The booth is finished to suit your room, with seasonal artwork refreshes so it never goes stale.

🎉

Function mode

Flip it to free-play for functions and VIP nights, then build it into your packages. Far cheaper than hiring a booth in for the night.

🔧

Runs itself

Remote monitoring around the clock. We restock paper before it runs out and fix issues before you notice them.

About us

Built in Preston. Maintained from ten minutes away.

Select Booth is a Melbourne company, based at 72 Chifley Dr, Preston, not an interstate operator behind a web form. If your booth ever needs anything, we're minutes away, and you talk directly to the people who build and maintain it.

We started Select Booth because venues deserve both the revenue and the customer relationship a booth creates. Most operators keep the data. We hand it over.

FAQ

Straight answers for venue owners.

What does the booth cost my venue?
Nothing, ever. We fund the booth, the install, the paper, the maintenance and the support. You provide a 1 × 2 metre space and a standard power point; we handle everything else.
How does the revenue share work?
Guests tap to pay for each session and your venue earns a share of every dollar, paid monthly with a simple statement showing exactly how many sessions ran. Before you sign anything, we'll model an exact earnings estimate for your foot traffic, with no invoicing hassle and no chasing.
How much space and power does it need?
A 1 × 2 metre patch of floor (about 2 m²) plus a normal power point. A quiet corner works perfectly. No plumbing and no network cabling required; the booth has its own internet connection.
Who looks after it? Do my staff need to do anything?
No. The booth runs itself: cashless payments, no props to manage, no cash to handle. We monitor every booth remotely, restock paper before it runs out, and being based in Preston we're on site fast if anything ever needs a human.
What happens if it breaks down?
One message and it's our problem, not yours. We usually know before you do: the booth alerts us when paper runs low, a payment terminal drops out or it goes offline, and we can fix most things remotely the same day. If it needs hands-on attention we're local, so you're not waiting on an interstate technician. You never pay for repairs.
What do we actually get from the guest data?
Guests always get their prints. To receive digital copies, they enter an email at the booth, and those emails, with proper marketing consent, go into your venue's own mailing list along with analytics on sessions and busy periods. It's your list: use it for gig announcements, specials and functions.
Is the data collection legal? What about privacy?
Yes. Guests explicitly opt in at the booth before anything is added to your list, and collection is handled in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act. You get a clean, consented list you can actually email, not scraped data.
Are we locked into a contract?
No lock-in. If the booth isn't working for your venue, we remove it free of charge. We keep venues by making them money, not by trapping them in paperwork.
How long does installation take?
From a yes to a live booth is typically about four weeks: we build and brand the booth off-site, then install in a single after-hours visit so we never disrupt trade.
Can we use it for private functions?
Yes. Every booth includes a function mode: flip it to free-play and we simply reduce your revenue share for that month, which works out far cheaper than hiring an event booth in. Most venues build it into their function package and still charge the customer, so it pays for itself. And for your own special nights, like the staff Christmas party, the booth is on us.
