ClassMetrix is the front desk and the books for drop-in classes. Check people in and take their money in one tap on a phone, then see what every class really earns after hall hire and teacher pay.
People turn up, pay at the door, and come when they can. Booking software is built for something else. So the door runs on paper, a cash tin and memory.
Three things, in the order they happen.
Add your halls, your weekly classes and what they cost to run. Set your drop-in price and your passes. Switch on only the features you need.
The door taps a name and picks how they paid. That one tap is the check-in and the sale. The right price is already there, discounts and all.
Profit per class after hall hire and teacher pay, how many people you need to break even, and who's stopped coming.
Built for a phone in one hand and a queue in front of you.
Passes look like the card in their hand: tap the next circle to use a class. Couples can share. Staff comp passes can't be. "Forgot my card" becomes an IOU that settles next visit.
New students scan a QR code at the door and sign up on their own phone, waiver and code of conduct included. Parents sign for their children.
Second class this week half price. Troupe pays once a week. Both classes tonight for $35. A band night at a different price. The door sees the price and the reason.
Revenue minus hall hire, teacher pay and one-off costs, class by class and month by month. If a teacher wasn't recorded, it estimates and says so.
See who's owed what and pay several teachers at once. Count a cash tin and see straight away if it's short.
Regulars who haven't been for two to four weeks, and the class they were last at, so the right teacher can check in.
Every studio is different. Don't sell passes? Don't pay teachers per class? No front desk? Switch those parts off and they disappear from the app, so the door only sees what matters to you.
Mindbody and similar tools are built around bookings and memberships. ClassMetrix is built for people who just turn up.

Dance schools, fitness and yoga classes where people pay at the door rather than book ahead, often across several hired halls. It was built alongside a real Sydney swing-dance school.
No. Keep your card terminal and your cash tin. ClassMetrix records how each person paid, so your numbers and your cash add up.
We'll talk to you before your 30 days are up. It will be a simple monthly price that depends on the size of your school. Nothing is charged automatically, and there's no card to cancel.
No. They scan a QR code once to sign up. Your staff use ClassMetrix in the phone's web browser, with no app to install.
Yes. Get in touch and we'll help you move your list over. Pass balances can be set to match the physical cards.
Each studio's data is kept separate and is only visible to that studio's staff. Volunteers on the door can't see money totals, pay rates or signed forms.
Set up tonight's classes in about ten minutes and try it at the door.
