The day

Hours, the TV and the poster

  • Opening hours

    Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 8 pm; Sunday closed.

    Close on public holidays and before a wedding-season outstation shoot by adding that date as closed; bookings it cuts are listed so you can cancel or keep each.

  • TV display

    The token being called and the place to go to: the booth, the studio or the counter.

    In the shop window or beside the counter, where people waiting can see it.

  • QR poster

    On the shop door and beside the cash counter, so a visitor can take a place for the booth and step out for tea.

Tips

  • Book the studio, keep the booth for walk-ins.

    Studio sitting takes bookings with its own length. Passport and ID photos stay walk-in, so a five-minute photo never waits behind a family portrait. A booked family presses I am here when they arrive, or the owner checks them in.

    How it works →
  • Give each type of photo its own time.

    A visa photo takes longer than an exam photo. Setting minutes on each service makes the waiting estimate fit the real mix of requests.

    How it works →
  • Put the QR on the door for people who are passing by.

    A visitor scans, sees how many are ahead and can come back when their turn is near, rather than standing at the door.

    How it works →
  • Find the booth's busy hours.

    The Insights overview shows how many joined in each hour, so you can see when the booth fills. Put the assistant's meal break outside those hours, and pause the booth with the reason "Meal" so people waiting see the delay.
