Host a booth in Ontario / Breweries
For Ontario taprooms
Flights, Friends and a Booth by the Tanks
Ontario has a craft brewery in nearly every town, and the taprooms that win are the ones people make a day of. A photo booth gives breweries one more reason for groups to stay for another flight. It is free to host: we install it, service it and pay you a share of every session.

What changes
Why a booth works in a taproom
Taprooms run on long, social visits. People come in groups, they sit for hours, and they love a souvenir. A booth fits that rhythm perfectly.
- Release days. When the line is out the door for a new can, the booth gives the crowd something to do and something to post.
- Weekend day trips. Brewery hops through Niagara, Prince Edward County and the Bruce Peninsula are a group sport. The strip becomes the trip photo.
- Event nights. Trivia, live music and food truck Fridays all get a little louder with a booth in the corner.
Cost to host
Zero. The booth, setup and every repair and refill are on us.
What you earn
10% to 25% of every session, paid monthly.
Easy out
The first 90 days of the 12-month term are a trial. If it is not working, it goes.
How it fits
Finding the spot on the taproom floor
Breweries usually have space to spare: a wall near the tanks, the end of a long communal table, a covered corner of the patio. We look for a spot people pass on the way to the bar or the washrooms, with power and a decent Wi-Fi signal.
Best spot
Near the bar line or by the tanks, where the brewery looks its best in the background.
Busiest moment
Saturday afternoons and release days.
Make it yours
Wrap it with your can art or logo so every strip doubles as brand merch.

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.
