The platform

Less office. More studio.

Atelier Studio is a cloud platform that handles the boring parts of running a studio — scheduling, payments, waitlists, notifications, reporting — so you can spend the day teaching.

What it does

The studio's quiet half, automated.

The platform is organized around the six things that eat a studio owner's week — and a few they didn't know they wanted automated.

Scheduling

One engine. Two schedule shapes.

Most studio software pretends every class is a row of seats. Atelier Studio handles both shapes of a studio day in the same calendar.

  • Capacity-based: group classes with a seat count
  • Resource-based: privates and semi-privates gated by instructor and/or room availability
  • Recurring class patterns, instructor availability, holidays, blackout dates
  • Waitlists, cancellations, substitutes handled automatically

Express Checkout

Sixty seconds, front desk to floor.

Walk-in students scan a QR code, see the next class, pay, and they're in. No app to download. No card-key bracelet. No front-desk line.

  • QR scan → instant booking + payment on the student's phone
  • No app install required — works in the mobile browser
  • Records attendance automatically and updates the class roster live
  • Falls back gracefully to a payment link if the student prefers email

Included on Standard and Premium plans.

Each plan is a full product

Not a ladder. Three real products.

Most software vendors build a feature ladder, sprinkle in arbitrary prices, and call it a day. We don't. Each Atelier Studio plan is a full-featured product for a different kind of studio — and you're free to grow into the next one when you're ready.

And we'll never try to sell you more than you need. We don't have a high-pressure sales team — we'll absolutely help you pick what's right for your studio today, and what'll grow with you tomorrow.

The full picture

Every feature, every plan.

The complete platform, mapped to each plan. Late-2026 items are shipping for everyone on the listed plans on launch — you don't pay extra to get them.

All plans Late 2026

AI customer assistant

Skip the "when does ballet enrollment start?" calls — an AI agent with access to your account answers questions and can book classes for customers.

All plans

Multiple schedule types

Capacity-based bookings for group classes; resource-based bookings gated by instructor or room availability for privates and semi-privates.

All plans

Email notifications

Fast, reliable, high-delivery email — branded from your studio, not us. Stays out of the spam folder.

All plans

Text message notifications

SMS today; RCS & WhatsApp — late 2026. Smart routing reaches customers where they actually are. Strictly opt-in.

All plans

Basic online waiver

Studios that require a waiver before class can collect a signature online once and reuse it.

All plans

Offline payment recording

Record cash and other offline payments so reporting stays consistent — not everyone wants to pay online.

All plans

Basic reporting

The reports every studio needs, at a glance.

Standard & Premium

Secure online payments

Collect tuition up front through your own Stripe account. Predictable transaction fees — see the pricing page for the rate.

Standard & Premium

Class packs & memberships

Set your own prices and entitlements; we collect payments and track credits. Recurring revenue + loyalty in one.

Standard & Premium

Additional online waivers

Create as many waiver types as you need — different liability language per class or program.

Standard & Premium

Fully automated waitlists

Next-in-line auto-books and auto-charges when a spot opens. If payment fails, they have two hours to fix it before the spot moves on.

Standard & Premium

Instructor payroll reporting

Run reports to see what each instructor is owed, mark runs as paid. (Reporting only — we don't process payroll.)

Standard & Premium

Express Checkout

QR scan at the front desk → book + pay → on the floor in 60 seconds. No app install needed.

Standard & Premium

Coupon codes

Reward loyal customers or pull in new ones — set rules like one-per-customer, new-customers-only, expirations, etc.

Standard & Premium Late 2026

Groupon redemption

Customers redeem purchased Groupons for your services automatically — no manual check or markdown by your staff.

Standard & Premium

Basic webhooks

Send the most common events to Zapier, n8n, Make, accounting tools, marketing platforms, or anywhere else that accepts webhooks.

Premium

Term-based enrollments

Committed multi-session courses — e.g. a 12-week ballet term. Collect full payment up front or split into autopay installments you define.

Premium Late 2026

Multiple location support

Manage every location from one place. Schedules, instructors, payments, and reporting consolidated across the whole studio operation.

Premium

Advanced reporting & analytics

Attendance, trends, revenue, customer behavior — in easy-digest dashboards or full data-export format. Your choice.

Premium

Custom branding / white-labeling

Remove "Powered by Atelier Studio" from embedded widgets and outbound emails. Each studio that activates texting already gets its own dedicated number, so studio-branded messaging is intrinsic to the platform.

Premium Late 2026

Full webhook library

Dozens of events with advanced filtering — wire Atelier Studio into deep workflows.

All plans

Email + ticket support

Drop us an email or open a ticket, day or night. Live chat — late 2026. Premium plans get priority placement in the queue.
