BoothZen unique

What BoothZen has that BoothBook doesn't

Beyond bug-class parity, BoothZen ships eight features we cannot find on BoothBook's public marketing surface or public roadmap as of 2026-05-07. Each item below points to the file or route that backs the claim.

GDPR-grade PII encryption at rest

Customer email, phone, and address are encrypted in the database using a dedicated PiiEncryption service. BoothBook publishes no equivalent encryption-at-rest guarantee.

Evidence

app/Services/PiiEncryption.php

Customer anonymization on right-to-erasure

BoothZen ships a CustomerAnonymizationService that scrubs PII while preserving statistical/audit records, satisfying GDPR Art. 17 without breaking historical reporting.

Evidence

app/Services/CustomerAnonymizationService.php

Regional blog and marketing variants (UK / US / AU / EU)

Every marketing page and blog article ships with territory-specific UK / US / AU / EU variants (currency, spelling, regulator references), with hreflang and canonical tags wired in.

Evidence

resources/js/lib/marketing-regions.ts

Vertical landing pages (DJ, photographer, magician, wedding planner)

Dedicated landing pages for the four largest photo-booth-adjacent verticals, each with regional variants. BoothBook surfaces a single generic landing page.

Evidence

/for/dj /for/photographer /for/magician /for/wedding-planner

Audit trail across booking + lead lifecycle

Every status change, financial event, and PII edit on a booking or lead is recorded in an immutable audit trail surfaced inside the admin UI.

Evidence

AuditLog model (v4.0 audit-trail rollout)

Comparison-with surfaces for non-photo-booth tools

Comparison pages for HoneyBook, Dubsado, Aisle Planner, 17hats, and Check Cherry — operators evaluating switch can map their existing tool 1:1 against BoothZen.

Evidence

/compare/honeybook /compare/dubsado /compare/aisle-planner /compare/17hats

Sub-processor transparency page

Public sub-processor list with the exact third-party providers BoothZen routes data through (Stripe, Twilio, SendGrid, Mollie, PayPal, Cloudflare). BoothBook does not publish an equivalent list.

Evidence

/sub-processors

Multi-tenant architecture by default

Every tenant runs on isolated subdomains with strict tenant-scoped queries by default; global admin access is gated by a separate middleware stack.

Evidence

BelongsToTenant trait + ResolveTenant middleware
