Forget manual calculations after every morning practice or evening class. Automatically calculate instructor compensation, factoring in the number of mats unrolled in the studio and the types of 8-session passes sold.
Starta.one is the AI CRM for service businesses. Everything for running a Yoga Studio in one system — from class bookings to membership tracking — while AI handles the routine. Over 1,000 businesses already run on Starta.
When an evening vinyasa flow practice fills the studio, and the class waitlist keeps growing, it's crucial to accurately compensate your teacher for their activity. You can easily set up bonuses for exceeding the maximum number of mats in the studio or for every new student who purchases an unlimited monthly pass after a trial class. Even if an instructor leads a meditation or an intensive hatha yoga, the calculation will account for the complexity of the style and actual attendance, freeing the studio owner from hours of spreadsheet work.
Without class reminders and renewal notifications, students gradually drift away. Regular practice is the foundation of results — and your revenue.
Capacity limits, different levels, instructor substitutions, morning and evening groups — coordinating everything manually is time-consuming and error-prone.
Managing a yoga studio often faces the challenge when a primary instructor cannot lead a scheduled practice, and a colleague urgently substitutes. Manually, this creates chaos: you need to remember each person's rate, whether to account for bonuses based on studio attendance, and how to split payment if one led a pranayama block and another led the main part of the class. Automation allows you to link accruals to a specific schedule entry, where a substitution is recorded with one click, and financial compensation is recalculated according to the new instructor's profile without errors.
Another critical aspect is motivating the team to work with class waitlists. When the maximum number of mats in the studio is limited, every no-show without prior notice is a direct loss of revenue. Implementing a transparent system where a portion of the instructor's income depends on the actual number of attendees at a class encourages teachers to interact more actively with students and remind them of the importance of regular practice. This creates a healthy ecosystem where everyone is invested in keeping the studio full and clients canceling bookings on time.
Furthermore, it's important to differentiate payment for various types of activities, such as Kundalini, meditation, or specialized yoga retreats. Leading intensives requires different qualifications and preparation, so the compensation system must also be flexible. A clear breakdown of service categories in the financial report gives the owner an understanding of the true cost of each hour of studio operation. This allows for decisions about the viability of certain schedule slots based on accurate data about the profitability of each instructor and style, rather than solely on intuitive feelings.
Three day-to-day moments where the difference is obvious.
Without class reminders and renewal notifications, students gradually drift away. Regular practice is the foundation of results — and your revenue.
Set individual terms for each style — from a higher percentage for a complex Ashtanga practice to a fixed rate for a relaxing Yin yoga session.

Define payment terms for each teacher: a fixed amount for leading a hatha yoga class, a percentage of the value of filled spots, or a combined rate.
When an administrator marks a client's arrival for vinyasa flow or deducts a session from an unlimited monthly pass, the data is automatically transferred to the financial module.
At the end of the reporting period, you receive a ready-made calculation that accounts for all substitutions, the number of students on mats, and bonuses for leading special events.

Yes. Starta adapts to the specifics of your industry — from services and pricing to payroll and analytics. The AI takes yoga studio workflows into account and helps you get the most out of salary management.
Payroll calculation is available in Starta.one Pro — with no limits on the number of employees or scheme complexity.
Yes — this is one of the key advantages. Every specialist in the mobile app sees: 'today: X orders, $Y earned', 'this week: $Z', 'this month: $A (on track for $B target)'. You control what information each role can see (you can, for example, hide total revenue from specialists and show only their salary portion).
Yes. For each specialist, rates are configured separately by service category (40% for a haircut, 35% for colouring, 30% for a children's haircut), by shift (different rate for day vs night), by client type (premium for working with VIP clients). You can combine: shift rate + service commission + product sales bonuses + fixed premiums for specific goals.
AI does two things: 1) **Tells you who's due for a rate review** — every quarter it analyses each specialist's metrics (utilisation, client retention, revenue, margin) and recommends who to move to a premium scheme (raise to retain) or proactively start a conversation about terms before the specialist starts negotiating; 2) **Calculates the economics of a raise** — when a specialist asks for +5% (or AI suggests it), AI calculates specific numbers: '+$75/month salary, margin −$75/month, breaks even at 8+ months given the risk of the specialist leaving to a competitor.' You make decisions on numbers, not emotion.
When an instructor change occurs in the schedule, the system will automatically pull the salary scheme for the instructor who actually led the class. You won't need to manually recalculate amounts, as all data about substitutions and student visit values are synchronized instantly.
Yes, you can set a separate commission percentage for the sale of any passes or retail products. The system identifies who made the sale and automatically adds the corresponding amount to the instructor's overall payroll.
