Work out photo booth throughput instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Available booth seconds are the open hours times the queue efficiency, divided by the session length to give the number of sessions. Queue efficiency rarely exceeds 85% at a party because guests drift away, so booking a booth for the whole event serves fewer people than the arithmetic suggests.
Sessions
sessions = floor(hours x 3600 x efficiency / seconds per session)
sessions = floor(hours x 3600 x efficiency / seconds per session). Available booth seconds are the open hours times the queue efficiency, divided by the session length to give the number of sessions.
Queue efficiency rarely exceeds 85% at a party because guests drift away, so booking a booth for the whole event serves fewer people than the arithmetic suggests.
Enter time per booth session, hours the booth is open, queue efficiency, guests per session. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
