What You Get With SnapBuzz
50% of Every Sale
Guests pay $4.99–$14.99 for AI souvenir photos. You keep half. Our first Las Vegas location earns $400+ per week.
A Free Branded Photo Every Session
Every session — whether they buy or not — produces a photo with YOUR logo. That's your brand on their phone and social media. This is Simple Booth's entire product — we include it free.
Customer Emails — Free
Every session captures an email. We deliver them monthly. Simple Booth charges extra for this. We don't.
AI-Transformed Photos
Not filters. Not overlays. Full AI transformation that puts guests in themed scenes — Vegas showgirl, arrested mugshot, married by Elvis. Photos worth paying for.
Zero Maintenance
We monitor every PicBot 24/7. Updates pushed remotely. Issues fixed before you notice. If something breaks, we replace it. You never touch it.
Purpose-Built vs. iPad App
The PicBot is designed for unattended 24/7 operation in bars, hotels, and attractions.
True Kiosk Mode
Customers can't swipe out, close the app, or mess with settings. No buttons, no knobs, no way to break it. iPads can be exited with a home button press or by force-quitting.
Auto Power Recovery
Power flickers at 2am? The PicBot boots right back into photo mode — no login, no manual restart. iPads require someone to unlock and relaunch the app.
Smart Ring Light
Only activates during photo capture. Competitor ring lights blast 24/7 — a glowing spotlight in your dimly-lit bar.
