About Pepperoni Booking

Built by a studio owner who faced the same daily challenges—now powering 10+ leading studios.

Built by a Studio Owner

Run your Pilates studio without booking pain.

From managing my own studio to building the booking system I wished existed. Now used by leading studios to solve the same daily challenges.

Daishin Murooka - Founder of Pepperoni Booking

The Story Behind Pepperoni

The Time Sink

Managing studio bookings meant constant coordination: instructor schedules, class capacity, booking changes—all while teaching classes. Generic booking software didn't understand how movement studios actually work.

The Pilates Discovery

While building this platform, I discovered Pilates and Gyrotonic® studios have even MORE complex booking needs:

  • Multiple 1-on-1 sessions per week per client
  • Higher session frequency and tighter schedules
  • Frequent cancellations and last-minute changes

The Decision to Build

As both a studio owner and software engineer, I built the solution myself. Not a side project—the mission-critical booking system powering daily operations at 10+ locations.

The Honest Truth

I don't sell software I don't use. I rely on this platform daily for my own school, and it now powers 10+ leading studio locations. I face the same daily challenges you do, and I built this system to solve them—permanently.

The Problems I Couldn't Ignore

Every feature exists because it solved a real problem in actual studio operations.

Before

Message Overload

Drowning in emails, LINE messages, and texts. Students asking the same booking questions. Every message pulls you away from teaching.

After

Self-Service Answers

Clients see availability and book themselves. No more 'Is Thursday at 2pm open?' messages to answer.

Before

Constant Schedule Changes

Instructors swapping shifts. Class times moving. Clients asking 'Is this still happening?' because they're unsure.

After

One Source of Truth

Everyone sees the same live schedule. Changes sync instantly. No more confusion or double-checking.

Before

Cancellation Chaos

Last-minute cancellations scattered across channels. Manually notifying waitlisted students. Losing revenue to empty spots.

After

Automatic Handling

Cancellations trigger waitlist notifications instantly. Spots get filled without you lifting a finger.
