Boost Revenue with AI for Stationary Photobooths: Why Operators Choose Eventstation.ai

IntroductionStationary photobooths used to focus on ID photos and classic fun strips. However, user expectations have shifted. Today’s users demand personalized, sharable, and premium prints. With Generative AI, booths don’t just capture moments—they create them.

Together with Photomaton, Eventstation.AI has upgraded fixed installations at scale:

from an initial 500‑booth PSG launch to a network rollout covering 5,000 booths. These are located in high-traffic public spaces like train stations, malls, and even inside PSG facilities (the stadium and Paris stores).

The result? A print experience that drastically increases usage, willingness‑to‑pay, and total print share.

Why Generative AI for Stationary Photobooths?

• Campaign Styles & Branded Templates:  Create PSG‑style jersey scenes, mascot/ambassador swaps, or immersive seasonal worlds.

• Realistic & Stylized Transformations:  Fast processing that goes from On‑booth capture → Cloud generation → Instant print‑ready output.

• Group & Persona Handling:  Features like Multiswap handle multiple people to maximize throughput during peak times.

• Seamless Integration:  Works with existing hardware via Eventstation’s Webapp & Cloud API—no new machines required.

• Revenue Impact:  AI prints command a premium price. In early coverage, the PSG AI format was priced ~€3 above the classic strip, reinforcing upsell economics.
