Candid coverage without a photographer
Small dinners often skip a professional photographer. PicShots lets every seat at the table contribute candid coverage instead.
For restaurant private dining events · Canada
Canadian weddings and family events lean on multicultural guest lists, all-season venues, and weekend-long celebrations — exactly where a single QR camera flow shines. PicShots gives every guest a digital photo roll for restaurant venues, with one QR scan, no app install, and a host-controlled gallery you can reveal whenever the moment is right.

Why PicShots fits
Small dinners often skip a professional photographer. PicShots lets every seat at the table contribute candid coverage instead.
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.
Restaurant receptions have a quieter atmosphere than ballroom weddings. The browser-based camera flow stays unobtrusive while still collecting every important moment.
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
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.
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.
Intimate dinners do best with a smaller shot allowance — around 10–15 per guest — to keep the final gallery feeling curated.
Canadian guest lists often blend English and French speakers — adding a short bilingual line to the QR card improves uptake noticeably.
FAQ
Yes. PicShots runs entirely in the mobile browser, so it works for restaurant venues hosted in Canada the same way it does anywhere else. Guests scan the event QR, type a display name, and start shooting — no app install, no account, no extra software.
