The Company

Our Story.

Three friends. One idea. A better deal for every venue in America.

Founded 2026

Three high school friends from Utah.

CNK Booths was founded in 2026 by three high school friends from Utah who grew up together and saw an opportunity that most venues were missing entirely.

The name CNK comes from their initials. Simple as that. No agency branding, no invented backstory — just three people who built something real and put their names on it.

We built CNK Booths because we believe every bar, restaurant, hotel, and venue deserves a smarter way to add passive income and entertainment — without taking on any risk, any cost, or any extra work.

We are based in Utah and service all 50 states. The booth goes in, the revenue starts, and you never have to think about it again.

Three Founders · Utah

Based in Utah. Serving all 50 states.

From Salt Lake City to New York, we install and maintain booths nationwide. Distance is not a barrier — we handle everything remotely and in person.

Our Heritage

100 years of the photo booth.

The first Photomaton opened on Broadway in 1925 — and the world hasn't stopped posing since. For a century, photo booths have been a fixture of American social life: in arcades, malls, train stations, and bars.

What started as a novelty became a cultural institution. Generations of people have squeezed into those curtained booths, laughed too hard, and walked away with a strip of photos they kept forever.

CNK Booths was founded to honor that tradition — and to bring it into a new era. Premium hardware. Modern prints. A business model that works for everyone.

How We Operate

What sets us apart.

No middlemen. Ever.

When you sign with CNK, you deal directly with one of us — every time. No account managers, no support tickets, no runaround. One of the three founders handles your account personally.

Equal ownership. Equal responsibility.

All three founders handle everything equally: installs, support, partnerships, and finances. There are no departments and no hierarchy. Every decision is made together.

Utah roots. Nationwide reach.

We are based in Utah but service all 50 states. Whether your venue is in Salt Lake City or Miami, we will get a booth installed and keep it running.

“We built this because every venue deserves a smarter way to add passive income — without risk, without cost, without lifting a finger.”
