What you actually receive: On average we pay out €200 to €500 per booth and month. That takes 160 to 400 strips a month. We transfer once a quarter, so €600 to €1,500 at a time. Over a year that adds up to €2,400 to €6,000. Average figures across our booths, not a fixed amount.

Who it's for

For clubs and bars
with busy nights.

You know the nights when the place is packed and there's barely room between the bar and the cloakroom. That's exactly where the booth belongs.

  • You want free marketing that hangs on your guests' walls at home
  • You're looking for revenue that doesn't come from the bar
  • You don't want extra work for your team

01 · The model

You pay nothing.
You earn a share.

You give the Club Machine a spot, we take care of the tech, and we share the revenue.

What you provide

0.9 m² and a power socket

A spot your guests walk past anyway. A standard 230-volt socket. And someone to let us in when we come for maintenance.

What we provide

Everything else

The booth with camera, printer and card reader. Plus the paper, the wrap in your design and your logo on the front and on every strip. Repairs are on us, and so is liability.

What you get

Your share of the revenue

You get a fixed share of the booth's revenue. We settle every quarter and transfer your part. How big the share is depends on how well the booth performs at your venue.

Term, notice period and your exact share are in the offer before anyone signs. A booth that doesn't perform at your venue is no use to us. That's why we pick the best spot together, on site.

03 · What you get

Your logo on
1,000 walls.

The strip hangs in your guests' homes

Your name is on every strip. It ends up on the fridge, the mirror or the pinboard in the hallway and often stays there for years. Every visitor sees it. You can't book ad space in other people's homes anywhere, and here it costs you nothing.

No work for you

Paper out, printer jammed, card reader down: that's our problem, not yours. You call, we come.

The booth won't fill an empty venue. It works where there's already a crowd. On a good Friday, word spreads on its own.

04 · Design

The booth wears
your design.

Every booth is as unique as your brand. We wrap it in your design and put your logo on the front and on every photo strip.

06 · How it works

How the booth gets
into your venue.

Four steps in this order. You only need to do something in steps one and three, and that's done in an afternoon.

  1. Enquiry

    Tell us what kind of venue you are, where it is and how busy it gets on a normal weekend. That's all we need to start.

  2. Site check

    We work out where the booth goes, where the nearest socket is and whether people can queue without being in the way. A few phone photos from you are usually enough. Otherwise we'll drop by.

  3. Design and wrap

    You pick a design or send us your files. We wrap the booth, put the logo on the front and on the strips, and show you what it looks like beforehand.

  4. Setup

    We deliver the Club Machine, set it up and run a full test. From your enquiry to that day it usually takes two to three weeks.

07 · FAQ

What people ask
first on the phone.

What does the photo booth cost us?

For you the booth costs €0. You provide space and power, we provide everything else, and you get a share of the booth's revenue. On average we pay out €200 to €500 per booth and month, transferred once a quarter. No rent, no deposit, and you never get an invoice from us.

How much space does a photo booth need?

The Club Machine is 120 × 75 cm, 215 cm tall and weighs around 200 kg. It needs a standard 230-volt socket. That much space is free in almost any venue.

Who refills the paper and repairs the booth?

We do. Maintenance and repairs go through us, and if something breaks, we're liable. Your team just needs to let us in.

Can we buy your booth?

Our model is built so you get all the benefits of a photo booth without dealing with maintenance and troubleshooting. If you'd rather buy the booth and keep the full revenue, we'll definitely find a solution. Just write to us.

How do guests pay at the booth?

By card via Girocard, Maestro, Mastercard, Visa, Apple Pay and Google Pay. On request the booth runs free of charge for your guests.

Does our logo go on the photo strips?

Yes, on every single strip and on the booth itself. If you have your own design files, we'll use them. Otherwise you pick one of our designs.

Do you come to our city?

Yes. We install across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Booths already stand from Berlin to Vienna, for example in Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Hanover, Vienna, Zurich and Basel. What matters isn't the city, but whether your venue is packed at the weekend.

Does the booth work without internet?

Yes. Shooting and printing happen entirely inside the machine. The Club Machine doesn't need internet.

What about data protection?

The photos are only printed and never leave the machine. There's no upload and no outside connection. Club Machine is the responsible party; the club has no access to the photos.

08 · Contact

Tell us briefly what kind
of venue you are.

Three sentences are enough. We'll look at your location and tell you honestly whether a booth would work for you and what a contract would look like.
