Host a booth in Ontario / Bars
For Ontario bar owners
The Corner Your Regulars Will Fight Over
A photo booth for bars gives a crowd something to do between rounds that is not staring at a phone. In Ontario, SmileMore places one free: we install a real enclosed booth, keep it running, and pay you a share of every session. You pour. The curtain does the rest.

What changes
What a booth does to a night at the bar
Ontario bars compete on atmosphere as much as drinks. A booth adds a little theatre to the room without adding a single shift.
- The slow Wednesday. Regulars bring the friend who has never been in, just to cram onto the bench. One group in the booth pulls the next one over.
- The game-night crowd. When the Leafs or the Raptors win, everyone wants a souvenir. When they lose, everyone wants a distraction. Either way the booth gets busy.
- The stag and doe. Ontario parties travel in packs. Ten people, one bench, a lot of laughing, and your bar’s name printed on every strip.
What it costs
Nothing. Booth, delivery, setup, paper and repairs are all covered by us.
What you earn
10% to 25% of each session, paid monthly with a simple report.
If it flops
The first 90 days of the 12-month agreement are a trial. Not earning? We wheel it out.
How it fits
Where the booth goes in a bar
Most bars have a spot that never quite works: the dead end past the pool table, the wall by the washroom hallway, the corner where the old jukebox was. That is usually the best place for a booth. It is visible from the rail, out of the service path, and on the way somewhere people walk all night.
Best spot
Visible from the bar but out of the way of servers. Near the washrooms works well.
Busiest moment
Late evening, a couple of drinks in, when groups start debating where to go next.
Make it yours
We wrap the cabinet in your colours and logo, and your name prints on every strip.

Proof, not promises
Our first campus booth: what happened at NSU
Our first booth went into the lobby of the Don Taft University Center at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, wrapped in Sharks blue. Students found it on their own, and nobody on staff has to touch it. Ontario booths run on the same program with the same service. Move-in week drove a lot of month one, so read these numbers as a strong start, not a forecast.
