Guest one finishes. Guest two taps nothing because the booth still shows the last session’s share screen. Auto-restart keeps the kiosk ready so the line never stalls on a reset someone forgot to tap.
Available in Party.
The problem
Unattended booths die quietly in the idle state after a share or print. The next guest assumes it is broken, staff scramble to reset, and throughput collapses during peak hours. Manual restart is fine for demos—it fails when two hundred guests expect rental-grade reliability.
Why it matters
- Return the booth to ready state automatically after each session
- Keep lines moving without staff resetting between guests
- Reduce abandoned attempts from confused walk-up users
- Support unattended kiosks at weddings and brand activations
- Pair with attention shutter so each guest sees the same clear starting point
Who it’s for
Auto-restart is essential for Party-tier unattended operations: venue booths running without dedicated attendants, festival kiosks with volunteer rotation, and operators who measure success in sessions per hour.
Real-world moments
- A wedding reception iPad kiosk resets automatically during peak dance-floor line surges
- A trade show booth runs unattended during keynote blocks with continuous guest flow
- A venue weekend kiosk stays ready between groups without staff intervention
