Busy slots warn your team
Your staff still decides who comes in. No algorithm turns a family away at the door.
Butterbook runs bookings, events, payments, and visitor records for art museums, community studios, and solo practitioners. One tool for the whole day and the whole season.
Your staff still decides who comes in. No algorithm turns a family away at the door.
A flat monthly rate that fits a grant line, so you can plan a season without ticket math.
Clean CSV and JSON exports on demand. Take your register to the board meeting, the auditor, the next platform.
Open changelog, open roadmap, open repo. Self-host if you want the keys.
One page, one day. Who's arriving, in what size group, with what notes. The information a thoughtful front desk person would want at the start of their shift.
A running, tagged record of who visited and when. Yours to export, always.
The same page works on a shared tablet at the door or linked from your website.
Limit access by role, so a front desk volunteer sees what they need and nothing more.
Ask only what matters: name, group size, school, consent.
Your colors, your language, your org's name for things.
Every mutation is logged, append-only, with the actor and reason attached.
Tap your reservation or add your name to join the register.
The booking page runs on your website, on a tablet by the door, or behind a taped-up QR code. Visitors add their name and go. No accounts, no app installs, no sign-in screens.
