Bookings, front desk, kiln, team, marketing and numbers. Six products that work together on one customer record. No commission, ever.

No invented numbers anywhere on this page, and every screenshot below is the running product, not a mockup.

Six tools. None of them talking.

Every studio ends up here: bookings in one place, payments in another, courses in a spreadsheet, the team on WhatsApp. Then the same customer exists five times and nothing adds up.

Before

  • A booking tool that's never heard of a kiln
  • A separate card reader and a separate report
  • Memberships in a third app
  • Courses in a spreadsheet
  • Rotas on a wall planner
  • The collection shelf on a piece of paper

With Kilndar

  • One booking engine, everywhere you sell
  • One ledger for bookings, retail and café

Six pieces don't make a pot.

Bought separately they come to £485 a branch. Together they start at £220, because half a picture isn't worth half the price to you.

One customer. One record. Everywhere.

Painted in March. Bought a gift card in June. Started a course in September. Still has two bowls on the shelf. That's one person, not four.

Every product reads and writes the same record, so the front desk knows what marketing sent, the kiln board knows whose piece it is, and the reports agree with the till.

one customer · one piece · one payment · one truth

Three things nobody else got right.

Generic booking tools have never met a kiln, a busy Saturday floor, or a six-week course. These are built in, not bolted on.

The shelf empties itself.

A visit doesn't end when the guest leaves. It ends when they get their work back. Kilndar follows every piece through glazing, firing and drying, emails the maker the moment it's ready, and books the collection slot for them.

Seat the party while they're still saying hello.

Check a group in and the floor map opens with a table already suggested. Confirm it, move them, or squeeze a walk-in onto a busy bench. Six wheels never sell twenty-four seats.

Courses that behave like courses.

Six weeks sold as one booking, not six. Same bench every week, attendance per session, and a rest week in the middle so work can dry before it's glazed.

Pottery is our home turf, but nothing here is pottery-only. Labels adapt to your craft, so kilns can read as looms, presses or ovens.
