Common situations studio owners describe, and what Formwork does about each.
A one-location gym owner whose 6am class fills up
The problem: The early class sells out, people cancel late, and the owner ends up texting the waitlist between sessions.
What Formwork does: When someone cancels, the next person on the waitlist is booked in and emailed automatically, and capacity is enforced so the last spot can't be sold twice.
The outcome: Freed spots get refilled without the owner touching the phone.
A yoga studio owner tired of chasing late cancels
The problem: The late-cancel policy is posted, but charging the fee by hand feels awkward, so it rarely happens.
What Formwork does: Late cancels and no-shows are applied against the published policy automatically, with a cutoff and fee or forfeit-only. A waived fee is refunded, the credit returns and the note is kept.
The outcome: The policy gets applied the same way every time.
An owner opening a new studio
The problem: Setting up booking software before opening day is one more big job on the list.
What Formwork does: The class template, class types, capacities, packs, drop-ins and policies are entered with the owner and sent back to check. Payments run on the owner's own Stripe account.
The outcome: The owner checks a finished setup instead of learning an admin panel from scratch.
