One device, claimed.
First device to load the kiosk URL is the booth. A 10-second heartbeat keeps it locked — no rogue tab from the back office can hijack it mid-event.
Open the kiosk URL on any iPad, laptop, or browser. The camera turns on, the template snaps in, and the next person in line is already smiling. No app store, no install, no rental.
Three things, in order. Then the line forms itself.

Selfie mode by default. Switch cameras, pick a mode (single, strip, boomerang, GIF), and the countdown does the rest. Every frame is composed against your template in real time.
Each capture lands in the gallery instantly with a QR code on the review screen. Guests scan, download, and the next person steps up.
Bad Wi-Fi happens. Power goes out. The kiosk doesn't care.
Captures pile up locally if the network drops. They drain to the gallery the moment Wi-Fi comes back, in order, with no double uploads.
One button in the admin dashboard kills every paired device. For when the iPad walks off, the venue swaps the loaner laptop, or the line just needs a reset.
Upload a still or short loop and the kiosk plays it on idle — sponsor logo, couple's monogram, or just the night's color palette.
