Peter Jones is being such a misery tonight. Photo booths are a bit past their sell by date. So passé, but I do like these guys.
Loved the shoe heel protectors.
Who needs these photo booths these days, when we have smart phones and tablets which can also upload to the net immediately? I don't understand why the dragons are so interested.
A couple of cheeky chaps who would do well selling anything.
Even if everyone has a phone these days, if you put one of these in a nightclub, corporate event or at a festival then you would have enough idiots paying to have their photo taken.

Most of the Dragon's seem out of touch with the modern world. Peter Jones thinking Jessop's matters.

Exactly what I thought, and could not believe a single one of the dragons did not point out that glaringly obvious fact.

But nowhere near enough to make a profit. And only if mobile phones did not exist...
Their function is primarily for work/travel/business related photos, which is why most of them tend to be located in railway stations, shopping precincts etc.

Because photo booths have become fashionable for use t events such as weddings
Finally they've got rid of the 'coming up next' segments at the beginning of the show.
No they haven't!
And neither have they got rid of the sob stories...less than 10 minutes in 'I had cancer'. Sorry to hear that, but how is that in any way related to a business pitch?
Also Evan Davies is clearly trying to shove more lame puns in than ever! Such as the 'lights out' one for the lightbulb guy
If Peter Jones says '...and that's the only reason I'm out' one more time too...
But it's not even a booth. How do you control the background, or the height of the camera for shorter or taller people?
And the example they produced is the wrong spec for a passport photo (producing photo id is the only time I've used them).
I think you've missed the point. It's not meant to be for one person or for passports.. it's for group photos at social events. Here is an example of one in action:
Basically it's just a little "booth" people stand in.. the background is probably changed via a green screen.. you have your photo taken together and then you can share the photos on social media. That's all they are. It's a bit of fun not a proper photo booth for passports.

The lady didn't randomly mention the fact she'd had cancer, it was in answer to Deborah's question about when she began trading. The lady said since 2006 and Deborah asked her about the profile of the business as it's a long time to be trading. And to be fair, the lady mentioned it matter of factly, didn't cry and try for sympathy, and moved on. I didn't see it as a sob story tbh.

makes it rather pointless then ..... since everyone who SoMe's already has a camera to take pics!

Search for phone booth rental, you'll see where the market is
We had one at the office Christmas party. It was very popular (to my amazement it has to be admitted).
Max Wall got there first, about 50 yrs ago., & by the way you can get the high heel protectors for 99p delivered from E-Bay!:D
Yup seeing them more and more.
