A different operational shape than holiday programs. Steady throughput when you run year-round, weekend-burst when you run seasonal, performer-led customer experience either way. SP Photo Station is configured for both.
Character programs are the inverse of holiday programs in one critical way: your performers are the product. Guests remember the character interaction more than the photo. The same performer playing the same character at the same venue for years builds a following that drives recurring foot traffic.
That means your operational priorities shift. Performance feedback loops into staffing decisions. Member events and private bookings layer on top of the everyday capture program.
How SP Photo Station fits
SP Photo Station has a character_performer role separate from photographer. Permissions, training modules, and scheduling tracks are configured per role. Performers don't need access to capture workflows; photographers don't get character-performer scheduling visibility unless granted.
Inventory: §B.6
Define the venue's standard week (Tuesday-Sunday 11am-7pm, two 30-min breaks, two performers rotating) and publish it forward. Staff claim shifts against availability windows they set themselves. Recurring templates regenerate without manual recreation.
Inventory: §B.5
Customers rate their photographer or character performer after the session. Ratings aggregate into a weighted score on the performer's profile and feed into the reliability grade aggregator alongside attendance, photo critiques, and sales effectiveness.
Inventory: §B.6
Weekly cron-driven badge awards for top-rated performer, most-improved photo quality, customer-service standout. Manual admin awards for specific recognition. Badges show up on staff profiles and feed back into recognition culture.
Inventory: §B.6
A private member event Friday night doesn't break your everyday Tuesday-Sunday schedule. Per-event scheduling sits beside the recurring templates. Booking slots open and close for the event window only.
Inventory: §B.4
Branded border library managed in the admin portal. Border groups per character. Live chroma-key preview if the venue uses green-screen backgrounds for themed overlays.
Inventory: §B.2
We don't yet ship facial recognition for the "find my photo by face" customer flow. Tables and routes exist, but the feature is descoped pending biometric compliance work (parental consent requirements + CCPA face-geometry treatment). When that ships, it will be opt-in, parent-controllable, and behind explicit consent capture.
We don't integrate with theme-park RFID / Photopass systems. Capture is camera-based, gallery delivery is QR / SMS. Ride-photo systems (chassis-mounted cameras at coaster exits) are out of scope.
