$235,000 in revenue. 7 booths. 6 attendants. Multiple events running simultaneously every single weekend. And they've only been in business since September 2023.

Colton Cerday of Southern Revelry (Austin, TX) joined his business partner Justin Goss just months after the company launched — and together they've built one of the fastest-growing multi-booth photo booth operations in central Texas. In this interview, Colton breaks down exactly how they manage high-volume weekends, how they hire and train attendants they can trust, and what it really takes to keep three booths running smoothly across Austin and San Antonio on the same Saturday night.

If you've ever wondered how to scale beyond what you can do yourself, this one is for you.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How Southern Revelry scaled from one legacy booth out of a garage to a 7-booth fleet in two years

• Why they hired and trained attendants before they even needed them — and why that was the right call

• What they look for when hiring (hint: attitude over technical skill, every time)

• How they prep their warehouse during the week so weekend events run on autopilot

• The pre-event questionnaire that saves them from showing up to chaos

• How they handle the on-call system so a no-show attendant never derails an event

• When to know it's time to add another booth to your fleet

• Why Colton delegates graphic design to his sister — and what that taught him about letting go of control

• Their 2026 goal: 1.5 to 2x revenue, new markets, and roaming photography
