Unique Photobooth Cafe franchise (Life4Cuts)

This business has been established since December 2023. 

Located upstairs, our photobooth, a South Korean franchise known as 'Life 4 Cuts', stands out as Scotland's first and only branch. With over 4,000 stores worldwide, this rapidly expanding franchise also has a notable presence in England, where around 13 branches operate, alongside locations in Eastern Europe, including Poland, Amsterdam, the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, Hungary, and Romania.

Our unique business model successfully caters to two thriving markets: photography and food. As weekends arrive, both aspects of our business experience a surge in customer activity, showcasing our popularity and solid customer loyalty.

The food offerings are an exciting extension of our original restaurant, featuring a straightforward menu that includes Korean fried wings, bibimbap (mixed rice), a selection of coffees, teas, and refreshing mocktails. We primarily focus on deliveries via Uber Eats and takeaway services. This dedication to quality and service has paid off, with a commendable rating of 4.5 out of 5 on delivery platforms and an impressive 4.7 out of 5 on Google Reviews, ensuring a robust customer base.

We are more than happy to answer any inquiries you might have.
