Run yourstudio withan operatorthat’sactuallyyours.
KADRE is an operator, not just booking software. It spots the empty seats in your week and drafts the fill — and flags the members drifting away for a win-back your coach taps to draft. You approve every send; it never messages your members on its own. All on your own channel, at 0% cut — you keep 100% of what you charge (less standard Stripe processing). The combination the incumbents can’t copy: Mindbody won’t (it competes with you through ClassPass), Mariana Tek isn’t built for you.

The incumbent tax
You keep 100%. They keep a cut.
Not on your workout — on your business. The structural facts, side by side.
| The old way | KADRE | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs you | ~20% marketplace cut + a monthly fee | $1/member, capped at $99/mo · 0% platform cut · you’re the merchant of record |
| Go live | Weeks — operators report up to two months | Today — a net-new setup built from your website |
| Platform cut of your revenue | Up to ~20% marketplace cut, plus ~3% processing | Zero platform cut — Stripe’s standard fee only |
| Who owns the member relationship | The marketplace markets to your members | You — members book on your own site |
| Your client list | Some contracts claim rights to it | Yours |
| Your storefront | A listing in a shared directory | you.kadre.fit — your brand, your address |
| Who owns the platform | Often private-equity-owned | Independent, founder-run |
Figures are what operators and public pricing report. We compete on fees, contracts, onboarding, and who owns your members — never on their member app. Card processing is Stripe’s standard fee, paid to Stripe — never a KADRE markup.
Set up in an afternoon
Your brand. Your money. The whole studio.
Getting live is the easy part. What keeps a studio alive is what happens after — so KADRE keeps going: it runs your week and it grows your membership. Here’s the whole thing.
Your brand, your domain
Your brand — not a marketplace.
A real, SEO-indexed storefront at you.kadre.fit — your color, your font, your logo. Members book on your site; you own the relationship.
- Indexed by Google as your own site — not buried in a marketplace app.
- Put your coaches on your own site — a real “Our Coaches” section with bios, specialties, and the certifications you list.
- The client relationship stays yours. We never market to your members.
Your money
Keep 100% of what you charge.
You're the merchant of record — direct Stripe payouts, no platform cut. What you charge lands in your account, minus only Stripe's standard processing fee.
- Intro offers, class packs, and memberships — built in.
- No platform markup on your sales.
The whole studio
The whole studio, run for you.
Scheduling, check-in and walk-ins, packs and memberships — and a live dashboard that flags at-risk members before they churn.
- Auto-waitlists that promote the next member.
- A live KPI dashboard with automatic at-risk flagging.
- A built-in CRM — every member in one place.
Live sample data — a real session on the shared demo studio, not a platform aggregate.

Runs your studio
More than a class list.
Classes are the start. KADRE runs 1:1 appointments, drops your live schedule onto the website you already have, and turns first-timers into members — the operating surface, not a brochure.

Grows your studio
It doesn’t just run your studio. It grows it.
The hard part of this business isn’t the first sale — it’s the member who quietly stops coming. KADRE watches for it, celebrates the members who stay, and turns your happiest ones into your next sign-ups.
The retention moat
Catch the member who’s slipping — before they’re gone.
Every night KADRE scores who's drifting away and flags them for your coach, who drafts a personal win-back plan in one tap — a real, personal re-engagement, not a mass 'we miss you' email. This is the loop the big platforms don't have.
- At-risk members surface automatically — no report to run, no guessing.
- Your coach drafts a personalized re-engagement plan for each one in a single tap.
- Your coach stays in the loop — the plan is sent by a human, never auto-blasted.
- Nightly scoring flags who’s drifting
- Your coach taps to draft the win-back plan
- Your coach reviews and sends it — never auto-blasted
Milestones
Celebrate the 1st class, the 20th, the birthday — automatically.
Members who feel seen stay. KADRE marks the moments that matter — a first class, a 20th, a birthday, a streak — with a genuine in-app celebration. You set it once; it runs itself.
- First class, 20th class, birthday, and streaks — celebrated in the app, in your studio's voice.
- Set the thresholds once; it fires exactly once per milestone, never spammy.
- Terminology-aware — '20th class', '20th session', or '20th visit' to match your studio.
Bring a friend
Your best members bring you your next ones.
A member can book a friend into a class on their own credits — no account, no friction. The friend walks in, tries the studio, and your happiest member just did your marketing for you.
- A member books a friend on their own class credits — one tap from the schedule.
- The friend needs no account to come try a class.
- Server-enforced fairness — each member can bring one guest per class, real credits only, no free-pass abuse.
- A member books a friend on their own class credits
- The friend comes in — no account needed
- Each member brings one guest per class, real credits only

From the founder
Independent and founder-run.
KADRE exists because too many good studios hand a fifth of their revenue to a marketplace that then turns around and markets to their own members. KADRE is independent and founder-run — not PE-owned — so no one upstream wins when your price goes up or your members’ attention gets sold. You keep your brand, your members, and your money.
- Payments by StripeYour money moves on Stripe’s infrastructure, and you’re the merchant of record.
- Bank-grade tenant isolationRow-level security and a hardened permission model keep every studio’s data its own.
- Your data, never locked inLeave any time and take everything with you — export your full member list and history to CSV in one tap, no export fee and no support ticket. Because you’re the merchant of record, your members’ cards live in your own Stripe account, so those relationships leave with you too.
- Independent, founder-runNot private-equity-owned. No incentive to hike your price or sell your members’ attention.
This isn’t a mockup. Ridgeline Strength is a live studio on KADRE right now, at ridgeline.kadre.fit — the real product, on the studio’s own address.

Questions
Straight answers, before you decide.
- How is KADRE different from Mindbody?
- Three structural differences, not a feature race. You're the merchant of record with direct Stripe payouts and a 0% platform cut — KADRE takes no cut of your sales, where Mindbody runs a consumer marketplace and can take a cut on network-sourced bookings on top of its subscription. Your members book on your own branded site at you.kadre.fit, not a shared directory that can market to them. And KADRE drafts your storefront from the website you already have so you go live the same day. KADRE is independent and founder-run.
- How is KADRE different from Mariana Tek?
- Mariana Tek is a premium platform aimed at larger, multi-location brands, typically sold through a sales process and an implementation. KADRE is built for the independent, single-location studio to set up and run itself — no enterprise contract, no implementation timeline. You review a storefront drafted from your existing website and go live at you.kadre.fit the same day, and you keep 100% of what you charge (merchant of record, direct Stripe payouts, 0% platform cut; only Stripe's standard processing fee applies).
- What does KADRE cost, and what's the catch on the 0% platform cut?
- Free up to 50 active members. Past 50 it's $1 per active member per month, hard-capped at $99/mo — the cap never rises with your headcount. The 0% platform cut means exactly that: KADRE takes no cut of your sales. The only fee on a member's payment is Stripe's standard card-processing fee, paid to Stripe (not a KADRE markup), because you're the merchant of record and the money goes straight to your bank. The one optional add-on, AI Coach ($79/mo), sits on top and is off by default.
- Do my members pay KADRE a fee when they book or buy?
- No. KADRE never adds a booking fee, service fee, or platform surcharge to your members' payments. When a member buys a membership, pack, or drop-in, the charge is what you set — it goes to your own Stripe account (you're the merchant of record) minus only Stripe's standard card-processing fee, which Stripe charges you, not your member. There's no consumer marketplace between you and your member and no per-booking cut.
- What does the AI actually do — is it just a chatbot?
- It's not a chatbot bolted on — it recommends and you approve, and it never acts on its own. Two things run today: a weekly plan generator that produces a training plan per active member (healthy plans release to the member; any low-confidence plan is held for a coach to review first), and a retention loop that scores who's at risk of churning and puts a review task on your coach's desk — it flags the member and surfaces why they're slipping, and your coach taps to draft the win-back. The framing is deliberately operator, not AI: it does the operating work for you at a recommend-and-approve posture, and nothing that touches money ever happens without a human saying yes.
- Can I leave KADRE? Is my data locked in?
- You can leave any time and take everything with you. From owner settings you can export your studio's data as spreadsheet-ready CSV — your member list, your attendance history, and your sales and payments record — in one tap, with no export fee and no support ticket. And because you're the merchant of record, your members' cards live in your own Stripe account, so those payment relationships leave with you too. KADRE was never in the middle of your money.
- Is the booking experience my brand, or KADRE's?
- It's your brand. Members book on a real, SEO-indexed storefront at your own address, you.kadre.fit, with your color, your font, and your logo — not a shared, KADRE-branded consumer app and not a marketplace directory. You can also drop your live schedule straight onto your own existing website (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, or a custom site) with a copy-paste embed. It works as a home-screen web app on any phone, with no app-store download required.
- Can I just try KADRE, or do I have to talk to sales?
- You can try it now — there's a live interactive demo (owner, coach, front-desk, and member seats) and a real member storefront you can explore, no sales call required. And the product is self-serve: free up to 50 active members with no card, so you can build your studio, draft your storefront, and see the whole thing before you ever pay or talk to anyone.
