“We tried using Acuity, Bookeo, FareHarbor, Toast, and Peek Pro over the past 5 years and while all had great features, each was lacking something important. We got fed up with the limitations and set out to build a booking platform that had the things we loved, while leaving behind the things we didn’t.”

The dashboard you actually want to open.

Built around how an experience business actually runs.

Five things we made sure ArtistryHost gets right — because we were tired of working around the platforms that didn’t.

01

Square-native, so your money lives in one place

If you take online bookings and in-person transactions, ArtistryHost keeps all of your financial activity in one place. Online reservations, in-person sales, and gift card sales all settle through your own Square account — one deposit, one report, one financial view. No reconciling two systems at month-end.

Booking-flow analytics that show you what's actually working

Robust booking-flow analytics, including funnel drop-off analysis, so you can see exactly how well your website traffic converts — and fix the step that's quietly costing you bookings. Built-in connection to Google and Meta Pixel tracking means you can finally tell whether your ad spend actually works.

A flat monthly fee — you keep 100% of your revenue

We got tired of booking platforms charging a percentage of revenue. We saw it adds friction — discouraging customers from completing the booking — and those fees add up. ArtistryHost is a flat-fee model. And if you're OK with a booking fee, ArtistryHost lets you still charge one — and you keep 100% of it.

A run sheet dashboard you actually want to look at

We got tired of the limitations in the displays offered by Bookeo, Acuity, and FareHarbor — so we built the dashboard you actually want to see. At a glance: who's arriving, who's paid, deposits, party sizes, and notes. The view your host stand actually needs on a busy day.

Built-in invoicing for groups that pay in advance

Sometimes you host large groups that pay ahead of time. ArtistryHost lets you send invoices and monitor payments right from the booking platform — all while leveraging Square's payments ecosystem. No separate invoicing tool, no chasing payments across apps.

We built this to do three things for your business.

ArtistryHost is designed by operators, for operators. Every decision traces back to these three goals.

01
Convert more bookings

The primary objective: turn more of your website traffic into completed bookings, with a fast, low-friction flow and no surcharge scaring guests off at checkout.

02
Keep revenue with you

A flat-fee model on your own Square merchant account. The money you earn stays yours — not skimmed a few percent at a time.

03
Give you real visibility

The analytics and dashboards that help you run your business more strategically — not just record what already happened.

See it on your own bookings.

Spin up your account, connect Square, and run your real workflow for two weeks. No contract, no percentage of your revenue, cancel any time.
