FAQ

Common questions

Does this replace Mindbody?

No. Mindbody handles class scheduling, memberships, and billing. Operator adds no-show recovery and retention alerts that Mindbody does not do on its own.

How quickly after a no-show does Operator act?

Within the same business day. Same-day follow-up on a no-show has 3x better re-booking rates than waiting until the next day.

What about members about to cancel?

Operator tracks visit frequency. When a member drops below their personal baseline, they are flagged as lapsing before they cancel, not after.

What is the ROI for a fitness studio?

Recovering 3 lapsing members per month at $120 average membership = $360 per month recaptured. Studios with 200 active members typically see 8 to 15 lapse alerts per month.
