A branded photo that drives online engagement

The PhotoTouch branded photo solution is used to offer guests a branded, high-quality print that also drives them online to share and download digital photos.

The workflow is designed to stay out of the dining experience while still delivering a premium keepsake.

How it works Capture → Brand → Print → Upload

Simple execution for real-world staffing

Team members capture a photo at the table using a camera, which is transmitted to a station in the venue.

The system automatically applies the overlay, generates the guest credentials, prints on-site, and uploads to a branded microsite for viewing, downloading, emailing, and sharing.
