Every guest
QR on the table card
Guests scan and upload from their own phone. No queue, no app, photos from the whole venue all evening.
A traditional photo booth typically costs £300–800 and often sits in one spot. Fest-appen is the guest page for your event: QR upload from every phone, optional booth on your iPad, plus schedule and guestbook. Software, not hardware. Big screen is optional.
