How a chess academy runs

What the admin work actually is

A chess academy usually runs classes by level, from beginners to rated players, in the evenings and on weekends, with extra fees for tournaments. The admin work is tracking attendance across many small groups, collecting monthly fees and handling one-off tournament entries.

Questions

Frequently asked by chess academys

Can I charge a one-off fee for a tournament?

Yes. Fees can be created per student or per batch, so a tournament entry is just another charge with its own receipt.

Can groups be small and at different levels?

Yes. Each class is a batch with its own level label, coach, timing and capacity, so many small groups sit in one account.

What does it cost for a chess academy?

From ₹999 a month with unlimited students and batches — flat pricing, no per-student charges. The yearly plan at ₹9,999 adds parent announcements, inventory, expenses and P&L, and your academy branding on receipts.

Do you help us move from registers and Excel?

Yes. Setup is free: we run an onboarding call and import your existing list from an Excel sheet, so you start with your real batches rather than an empty screen.
