Bars and restaurants spend thousands a month on ads that play to strangers. Meanwhile their actual customers — the ones who chose to be there on a Friday night — are taking selfies that mention nobody. We thought that was a strange thing to leave on the table.

The first version of BoothFunnel was a hacked-together iPad in a Brooklyn cocktail bar — capturing photos, dropping them via SMS, asking for an email in exchange. Customers loved the photo. The owner loved the contact list. Eventually we asked: what if this were a real product, and any bar in the country could plug one in?
Three years later, that's what BoothFunnel is. Hundreds of venues, millions of branded photos, hundreds of thousands of contacts collected, and one core idea: the cheapest customer acquisition channel a venue has is the one already standing at the bar.
If your booth fails on a Saturday, that's our emergency, not yours. We over-engineer for floors that don't tolerate downtime.
Customers consent before sharing. Photos delete on a rolling 90 days. We're a data processor, not a data hoarder.
Flat monthly fee, no per-capture surprises, cancel any time. We win when you keep us. Simple.
