Walk-In Photo Booths for Toronto Venues
Toronto has fallen hard for the photo booth again, yet most people in Toronto still have to go looking for one. SmileMore is placing free walk-in booths in Toronto venues: the bar on King West, the brunch spot in Leslieville, the taproom in the Junction. If you run a busy room in this city, we want to talk.

Why Toronto
Toronto wants a photo booth closer to home
Search “photo booth toronto” and you will find lists of the same handful of spots downtown, plus pages of event rentals. People clearly want booths. There just are not many to walk into. That gap is the opportunity for your venue.
- Neighbourhood nights. Most nights out in Toronto are local. A booth gives people in your area a reason to stay in the neighbourhood instead of heading downtown.
- Big-event spillover. Game nights near Scotiabank Arena, TIFF in September, Nuit Blanche in October. Crowds want a souvenir, and a strip beats a blurry phone photo.
- Winter backup. When patios close, an indoor attraction keeps groups lingering through January.
Free to host
No fee and no equipment to buy. We bring the booth and cover supplies, service and repairs.
Monthly share
You keep 10% to 25% of each session. We send the numbers and the payout every month.
Low risk
A 90-day trial is built into the 12-month agreement. If Toronto does not take to it, we remove it.
Where it fits in Toronto
From King West to Scarborough
We are prioritizing venues with steady weekend crowds and a visible corner: bars and lounges in the Entertainment District and on Queen West, restaurants with a wait at the door, breweries, campus buildings, and entertainment venues across North York, Etobicoke and Scarborough.
See the program for your venue type: bars, restaurants, breweries or campuses.
Toronto districts we are placing in first:
- King West. Upscale bars, lounges and restaurants that fill up every weekend.
- The Entertainment District. Clubs and pre-show spots near the theatres and arenas, busy before and after every event.
- Queen West. Independent bars and restaurants with a creative crowd that loves a printed photo.
- Ossington. A tight strip of cocktail bars and late-night rooms where groups hop from spot to spot.
- Liberty Village. Young professionals, brunch rooms, breweries and after-work drinks.
- Yorkville. Hotels, lounges and polished restaurants where a custom-wrapped booth suits the room.
- Little Italy and College Street. Patios, trattorias and bars that stay busy late.
Best spot
Near the entrance or on the way to the washrooms, where people pass it more than once a night.
Busiest moment
Friday and Saturday after 9 p.m., and the hour after a big game lets out.
Make it Toronto
Wrap it in your brand, your neighbourhood or your team colours. The strip footer carries your name.

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.
