The final acceptance check before a photo booth opens

Accept a photo booth setup by completing the guest journey, not by checking that the screen turns on. Name the person who can approve opening and give them time to inspect the actual output before guests arrive.

Run this sequence

1. Start from the instruction a guest first sees.
2. Capture a representative portrait or group.
3. Review the active artwork and crop.
4. Receive and open the digital output if included.
5. Collect and inspect the physical print if included.
6. Ask the attendant to explain help and closing procedures.

Record unresolved items and decide who fixes them. Avoid a vague “looks good” that leaves delivery or the printer untested.

Check the operating space

Walk the waiting and pickup routes. Confirm supplies are stored appropriately and the operator can reach support. Review the event schedule and any planned pause or creative change.

Use the creative approval inventory as the comparison. The acceptance sample should match what was approved, not merely demonstrate that some experience is running.

Issue an opening verdict, not a vague thumbs-up

Use ready, ready with a defined limitation, or not ready. Record the limitation and guest-facing change when one exists. A print issue should not disappear behind a general approval of the capture screen.

The event approver should see a complete sample as a guest would: image, retrieval, optional print and final instruction. That gives acceptance an observable meaning.

If the setup changes after acceptance, repeat the affected part. Moving lights requires another image check; changing a destination link requires another retrieval check. This is not a full restart for every edit, but it is evidence that the changed step still works before guests depend on it.
