Drop-in classes run differently

People turn up, pay at the door, and come when they can. Nobody books. So the door often runs on paper, a cash tin and memory.

Three things it does for you

The examples below are sample data from our made-up demo studio. They are not a customer's results. Open the demo to see them working.

1 · Every class night

Run tonight's class

The door taps a name, then taps how they paid. That second tap is the check-in and the payment record. The right price is already on the button.

  • No paper forms. New students scan a QR code and sign up on their own phone, waiver and code of conduct included. Parents sign for their children.
  • Passes that look like the card in their hand. Tap the next circle to use a class. Couples can share a pass. Staff comp passes can't be shared.
  • Your pricing rules. 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.
  • Forgot the card? It becomes an IOU that settles next visit.

2 · After class

Keep the money straight

Your card terminal and your cash tin take the money, as they do now. ClassMetrix records who paid, how much and how, so the two can be checked against each other.

  • Cash tins. Count a tin and see straight away if it's short or over.
  • Teacher pay. See what each teacher is owed and for which classes. Pay them your usual way, then mark several as paid at once. ClassMetrix records the payment. It doesn't send the money.
  • Costs. Hall hire and teacher pay for each class, and one-off costs such as band hire.
  • Passes. See how many prepaid classes you still owe your students.

3 · Whenever you like

Know what needs attention

See what each class earns after its own costs, how many people it needs to break even, and which regulars have stopped coming.

  • Profit per class. Revenue minus hall hire, teacher pay and one-off costs, class by class and month by month.
  • Break-even attendance. Worked out from what people really paid, after passes and discounts.
  • Who's drifting away. Regulars who haven't been for two to four weeks, and the class they were last at, so the right teacher can check in.
  • Estimates are labelled. If a teacher wasn't recorded for a night, their pay is estimated and the report says so.

These are each class's takings minus the costs you enter for it. They are not your full business accounts.

Only what you use. Don't sell passes? Don't pay teachers per class? No cash tin? Switch those parts off and they disappear from the app.

Getting started

What you do, what we help with, and what stays as it is.

Set up

About ten minutes

Add your halls, your weekly classes, what they cost to run and your prices. That part takes about ten minutes. Moving an existing student list is a separate job and takes longer.

Your students

Bring them with you

Students add themselves by scanning your QR code at the door. Already have a list, or passes that are part used? Email us and tell us how you keep them now. We'll help you move the list. Pass balances can be set to match the cards in people's hands.

Payments

Keep your card terminal

ClassMetrix doesn't process payments, so there's nothing to connect. Take cash and card the way you do now. The door records which it was.

Is it the right fit?

ClassMetrix is built for people who just turn up. It leaves some things out on purpose.

Built for

  • Students who turn up and pay at the door
  • Classes in hired halls, each with its own costs
  • Shared passes, staff comp passes and IOUs
  • Your own pricing deals, with the reason shown at the door
  • Profit per class after hall hire and teacher pay

Look elsewhere if you need

  • Online booking, class limits or waitlists
  • Memberships that bill automatically
  • Card payments handled by the software

ClassMetrix does none of these. If your classes depend on them, booking software will suit you better.

Free for 30 days. Then a price that fits your timetable.

Your plan follows the number of classes you run each week. Students, check-ins, staff logins and venues are never counted.

Questions

Who is ClassMetrix for?

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.

Does it take payments?

No. Keep your card terminal and your cash tin. ClassMetrix records how each person paid, so your numbers and your cash add up.

Does it pay my teachers?

No. It works out what each teacher is owed and records that you've paid them. You send the money your usual way.

How much does ClassMetrix cost?

There are three plans, set by how many classes you run a week. Starter, up to 4 classes: AU$29 or US$19 a month. Studio, up to 15 classes: AU$69 or US$49. Company, no limit: AU$129 or US$89. Australian prices include GST. Students, check-ins, staff logins and venues are never counted. The first 30 days are free, with no card. See the plans.

What happens after the free trial?

We'll email you before your 30 days are up. You pick the plan that fits your timetable, or you stop. Nothing is charged automatically, and there's no card to cancel. See the plans.

Can I get my records out?

Yes. The owner can download the student list and every check-in as a spreadsheet file from the app, at any time.

Do my students need an app or an account?

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.

Can I bring my existing students and passes?

Yes. Email hello@classmetrix.app, tell us how you keep your list now, and we'll help you move it over. Pass balances can be set to match the physical cards. Students can also add themselves by scanning your QR code.

How long does it take to set up?

Adding your halls, weekly classes and prices takes about ten minutes. Moving an existing student list is a separate job and takes longer.

Is my students' information safe?

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. The privacy page says what is held and where.

Who makes ClassMetrix, and how do I get help?

ClassMetrix is made by Shovelware. It was built alongside a real Sydney swing-dance school, from the way their door runs: shared passes, forgotten cards, a cash tin and teachers paid per class. For help, email hello@classmetrix.app.
