Features

Everything in Guestfolk, in three parts.

A website that takes the bookings, a members’ area on your members’ phones, and a dashboard for you. Here’s what each one does.

Part one: Website & bookings

A website that takes the bookings.

Your club gets a fast website in its own colours, on its own domain. People book and pay for events on it, members join on it, and members get their price automatically.

The Lantern Club’s home page, in the club’s own colours

Membership The membership page, with the tiers and prices

  • Event pages that take bookings

    Every event has its own page, with the seats left shown live and Stripe checkout. Members get their discount automatically.

  • Every kind of event

    Sold out, members-only and invitation-only events all work, and guests can add the date to their calendar.

  • Membership tiers

    Your tiers, paid yearly or quarterly by Stripe subscription.

  • Area pages

    Pages for the places your club covers, written for Google and AI search, with FAQs and schema.

  • A contact form

    Messages from your contact form land in your dashboard.

  • Edit it yourself

    A content editor (Keystatic) for your pages, events, tiers, offers and legal pages.

  • Share images, made for you

    Every page and event gets its own share image, made automatically.

  • Fast, and polite about cookies

    Fast static pages, and cookie consent before any analytics.

Part two: Members’ area

Membership that lives on their phone.

Members get their own area. Their card, points, bookings and offers are all in one place, and there’s no app to download.

Part three: Organiser’s dashboard

One dashboard to run the club.

Events, people, members and emails, in one place. See who’s coming, what an event will make, and who to talk to next.

The organiser’s dashboard: seats sold and takings for upcoming events, an event that needs a push, and new messages to reply to

  • The studio

    Makes social posts and flyers in your club’s colours, straight from an event.

  • People

    Everyone in one list, with filters: members, guests, enquiries, prospects and the mailing list.

  • Segments

    People grouped by place, and by what they like.

  • Mailchimp sync

    Tags for places and likes, a fresh copy of the list every 3 hours, and an “Add the missing fields” button.

  • Members

    Renewals, points and introductions.

  • Prospects

    A pipeline, with follow-ups.

  • Enquiries

    An inbox for the messages from your contact form.

  • Admins and backups

    Owner and admin roles, an activity log, and nightly backups, optionally to Google Drive.

  • “Email these people”

    Pick the people, and Claude drafts the email.

Coming soon

Connect ChatGPT or Claude to your dashboard.

Your club will be able to connect ChatGPT, Claude or any AI assistant that supports MCP to its dashboard. The assistant can read your events, bookings and People, and make drafts for you to check.

MCP is the open standard for connecting AI assistants to other apps, so it works with others too, such as Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Cursor. An app that can’t use the usual sign-in can connect with an access key instead.

It will be an add-on at £29 a month, ex VAT.

  • Drafts only

    Events, plans, emails and social posts, for you to check.

  • It never publishes, sends or deletes

    Those stay with you.

  • Contact details stay hidden

    Unless your club switches them on.

  • Everything is logged

    And you can revoke any connection at any time.

See it working.

We’ll show you The Lantern Club, our demo club: its website, its members’ area and its dashboard. Then we’ll answer your questions.
