For investors
A kiosk in every mall. Starting with one.
Vendi Growth is building an advertising-supported free photo kiosk network for South Florida malls. We're preparing a lean, one-kiosk pilot in Palm Beach County and talking with early investors now.
Concept rendering
The opportunity
One moment. Three winners.
Shoppers watch two or three short local ads, then take free photos. Every session features different businesses, chosen by the platform.
Shoppers
Get free, printed photos and optional local coupons. One free session per shopper per day.
Local businesses
Get a short ad in front of happy, nearby shoppers, with honest monthly reporting.
Malls
Get a family-friendly attraction that keeps people around longer and promotes their own stores.
Business model
How Vendi Growth makes money.
Monthly advertising
Local businesses pay a flat monthly fee per kiosk to join the ad rotation. This is the core revenue in the pilot.
Vendi Rewards
Stores fund a coupon or gift card for shoppers who scan their receipt, and pay per verified claim or a monthly plan.
Extras
Sponsored photo frames, extra prints and private events. Left out of the base-case numbers below.
Unit economics (estimate)
What one kiosk could earn.
Planning estimates per kiosk per month at 40 sessions a day, before salaries. These are projections, not results. The pilot exists to test them.
Base case, standard location fee
- Est. revenue
- ~$3,170
- Est. costs
- ~$2,820
- Est. contribution
- ~$350
Break-even at about 9 advertisers, out of a ceiling of 12. A thin margin, so the location fee decides whether a kiosk works.
Target case, fee waived for promotion
- Location fee
- $0
- Break-even
- ~5 advertisers
- Est. contribution
- ~$1,350
Our pitch to malls: free space in exchange for ad slots for the mall's own events and stores. Extras could add more but are excluded.
The plan
Prove it small. Then grow.
A two-step plan. Amounts are proposed and may change.
Step 1 · Pilot (proposed)
~$80K
One kiosk for six months in a Palm Beach County mall.
Step 2 · Expansion (proposed)
~$200K
Three kiosks over twelve months, raised only after the pilot hits its targets.
Proposed use of pilot funds
- Kiosk software and ad platform$25,000
- Location fees (6 months, budgeted high)$15,000
- Kiosk hardware and printer$15,000
- Legal, privacy and insurance$6,000
- Sales and marketing$5,000
- Operations and support$5,000
- Photo prints and media$5,000
- Contingency$4,000
Based on early estimates. Final figures depend on real hardware and location quotes.

Risks
What could go wrong, and our plan.
Location fees are too high
Ask malls for the space in exchange for free ad slots and tenant promotion, and only open where fees stay low.
Advertisers are slow to sign
Founding-advertiser offers, a local sales push before launch, and a community slot for goodwill.
Fewer sessions than planned
Pick high-traffic spots, run in-mall promotions, and move the kiosk if a spot underperforms.
Privacy and photo rules
Shoppers approve or retake before printing. Legal and privacy review before launch. No AI attention features until tested and approved.
Growing too fast
Open the next mall only when existing kiosks reach break-even.
