Classes, passes, memberships, and the shop, in one calm schedule.
A studio runs on a schedule and the people who show up to it. The software most studios use was built for the schedule and bolted on the people, which is why your newsletter does not know who bought the ten-class pass, and your website is a separate subscription that is always slightly out of date.
The schedule and the client are the same record
- Classes and sessions with passes, drop-in checkout, and waitlists
- Recurring memberships with their own billing
- A client portal: their classes, passes, bookings, orders, and messages
- A shop for the things you sell alongside the teaching: mats, materials, gift cards, the occasional piece of work
- Workshops and open days as events, at a flat $1 per paid ticket and nothing on free ones
- A website and newsletter that already know your clients
When a client buys a pass, their portal, their check-in, and their place on the newsletter already know. When the pass runs out, the renewal nudge comes from the same system that sold it.
Rooms, equipment, and the people who teach
Studio includes facilities booking for rooms and equipment and a calendar per instructor, so a private session and a group class cannot land on the same mat. Stage adds multi-room scheduling and waivers with e-signatures for the studios that need them signed before the first class.
