Setting up your studio
The first time you sign in as a new owner, REMO interviews you. Fourteen questions, a few minutes, and it builds your studio from the answers: your catalog, your booking page, your Handbook and your first invitations. You can change any answer later.
The interview
| REMO asks | What it does with the answer |
|---|---|
| What's your studio called? | The name on your booking page and your Handbook. |
| Where are you based? | Your home base. Drive times, coverage suggestions and your studio's timezone come from it. |
| What does your studio shoot? | Pick from HDR photography, video walkthrough, drone, twilight, 3D tour, floor plans, agent headshots, virtual staging, reels — and anything else you offer. REMO drafts your catalog from this. |
| What do you charge? | A price per service, prefilled with typical rates. Change any. |
| Where do you shoot? | The counties around your base, or a radius. Bookings outside them are still possible, with a fee. |
| Travel fee beyond your areas? | Charged on bookings outside every area you cover. $0 means none. |
| What hours do you book? | Shoots are scheduled inside these hours. |
| How much notice, and how far ahead? | Minimum notice for a booking, and how many days ahead clients can book. |
| Who shoots, and who edits? | Just you; you shoot and someone edits; you edit and someone shoots; or a team you run. REMO routes work from this. |
| Who's on your crew? | Their emails and what they do. REMO invites them. |
| Two rules for delivery and payment. | Whether clients pay before they download, and whether REMO reminds clients who abandon a booking. |
| How do you get paid? | Stripe, Square, or later. Connecting takes two minutes and can wait until your first booking. |
| How much should REMO do on its own? | Propose everything — you approve each change — or run routine work, where assignment and delivery happen without asking. |
| Anything else REMO should know? | Rules of thumb, exceptions; the things you'd tell a new manager. They go in your Handbook. |
At the end you review everything on one page and confirm. That review is your Handbook's first revision.
REMO derives your timezone from your home base and asks you to confirm it. Every shoot time, every "today", every reminder runs on that clock. Confirm it before your first booking.
Day one
After the interview, your Feed is home, and on day one it holds a short set of setup cards. Each one is a thing REMO cannot do for you:
- Setup — anything from the interview you skipped or left half-done.
- Crew — the invitations from your interview, and a door to invite more.
- Payments — connect Stripe or Square, if you chose later. Until you do, bookings are taken but nothing is charged.
- Timezone — confirm the studio clock.
The cards leave the Feed as you finish them. Everything else on day one is already running: your
booking page is live at remo-app.com/book/your-studio, your catalog is priced, and REMO is
watching.

| Advanced → Team | Your crew, with their roles and skills. |
| Advanced → Booking page | Your public page, its slug, and how it looks. |
| Schedule | Your crew's week, empty for now. |
