For studios scaling 1 to 5 locations
The studio OS built for the 1-to-5 locations growth band.
Vibefam is purpose-built for boutique studios scaling from 100 to 500 members. Multi-outlet payouts, instructor payroll automation, AI retention, AI Business Dashboard, Vibefam Family Accounts, and a dedicated Studio Success Manager on every plan. Not enterprise-franchise software borrowed for boutique pricing.
Operational depth for the multi-outlet growth band
Enterprise platforms like Mindbody are over-built for sub-5-location studios, locking you into 24-month contracts and add-on tier upsells. Ultra-light tools cap out around 100 members. Vibefam is purpose-built for the boutique studio scaling its second, third, fourth location.
Multi-outlet payouts to separate bank accounts per location.
Revenue routes automatically to the correct outlet bank account, with full audit trails per location. Two outlets ship on the standard plan, and outlet-level reporting unifies into a single dashboard so you see studio-wide health and per-location performance side by side.
Instructor payroll automation across pay models.
Flat rate per class, percentage commission on revenue, tiered scales based on member count, per-instructor overrides, per-class-type pay rules. Vibefam applies them automatically as classes complete. One-click payroll export by instructor, outlet, or studio-wide. Get your Sundays back.
AI Business Dashboard surfaces what to act on this week.
Predictive analytics flag at-risk members 4-6 weeks before they cancel. Daily recommended actions tell you which classes to keep, cut, or double down on. Revenue forecasting and cohort analysis run on live operational data. Studios see a 20% drop in churn after consolidating to Vibefam.
AI Marketing & Retention Engine runs nurture and win-back on autopilot.
Branded email and SMS workflows triggered by real studio events: sign-up, no-show, package expiring, churn risk identified by the AI Business Dashboard. No per-message broadcast caps as your member base grows. Studios see a 30% lift in lead-to-paying-member conversion.
Members under your brand, not Mindbody marketplace commissions.
Vibefam does not run a marketplace by design. Members book through your branded mobile app, your branded website, and your direct sales channels. No 20% marketplace commission skimmed off bookings. No ClassPass-style price race-to-bottom that erodes your direct-booking economics.
Vibefam Family Accounts for household memberships.
One purchase covers multiple bookers. Parents book classes for their children, partners share class packs, households consolidate billing under one membership. Built for the multi-member household economics that scale your ARPM as your studio grows past the first 100 members.
