The best fit runs your whole studio in one system: classes, appointments, memberships, payments, and marketing, without needing staff to manage it. Arketa is built for 1-2 location boutique studios, by a team with 500,000+ hours working in them. ### I'm opening my first studio. When should I set up my software? Before you open. Studios typically start onboarding 2-3 months before opening day so presale can begin 1-3 months out, selling founding memberships and intro offers while the buildout finishes. Opening day then starts with revenue instead of an empty schedule. ### What happens if I open a second location? Nothing to re-platform. Add the location to your account, and you get per-location schedules, reporting, and memberships that can work at one location or both. You'll keep the same client list and the same dashboard. ### Do I need separate tools for my website, app, and marketing? No. Booking, memberships, payments, email and text marketing, and reporting are part of Arketa, with an optional branded website and mobile app when you want them. One login instead of five subscriptions.
