Candid coverage without a photographer
Small dinners often skip a professional photographer. PicShots lets every seat at the table contribute candid coverage instead.

Why PicShots fits
Built for the rhythm of restaurant venues
Free for events up to 10 guests
PicShots is free for events with up to 10 guests — the exact size of most intimate restaurant receptions. Paid tiers cover larger private dining bookings.
Quiet, low-key guest flow
Restaurant receptions have a quieter atmosphere than ballroom weddings. The browser-based camera flow stays unobtrusive while still collecting every important moment.
Per-guest limits keep it curated
When the gallery is small, shot limits matter even more. PicShots keeps the gallery intentional rather than dumping every reflexive phone shot in.
Setup tips
How to set up the guest camera at restaurant venues
1 Print the QR at every place setting
With a small table, the QR works best when every guest sees it as they sit down. Add it as a small card next to the menu.
2 Mention it at the welcome
Intimate dinners always start with a welcome by the host. Slipping in a one-line mention of the QR is the single highest-yield prompt.
3 Use a tighter per-guest shot limit
Intimate dinners do best with a smaller shot allowance — around 10–15 per guest — to keep the final gallery feeling curated.

FAQ
Common questions
Will the QR feel awkward at a small restaurant?
Not when it's part of the styling. A small printed card next to the menu reads as part of the event, not as a request — and the host mention frames it as 'help us remember tonight'.
Is PicShots free for small dinners?
Yes. Events with up to 10 guests are free forever. Most intimate restaurant receptions fall under this tier.
Can we use the QR for a restaurant corporate event?
Yes. PicShots works for milestone dinners, leadership offsites, and team celebrations the same way it works for small weddings.
