# PlayaOS: all-in-one Burning Man camp membership portal

> PlayaOS manages your Burning Man camp from application to playa. Handle memberships, shifts, shelters, dues, and logistics in one place.

PlayaOS is an all-in-one membership portal built for Burning Man theme camps. It replaces spreadsheets and manual workflows with a structured platform where applicants can apply online, members can manage their own profiles and shift signups, and admins get real-time visibility into camp logistics — all from a single dashboard.

## How PlayaOS works

PlayaOS organizes your camp around a lifecycle — from the moment someone discovers your camp to the moment they leave the playa.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set up your camp">
    Create your camp organization, configure branding, and choose a plan that fits your size.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open applications">
    Publish your application form. Applicants apply online, and admins review submissions in a unified queue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run vibe checks">
    Assign interviewers, schedule vibe checks with Cal.com, and record notes collaboratively.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve and collect dues">
    Approve applicants with one click. PlayaOS automatically sends a payment link and updates member status when payment is confirmed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manage camp logistics">
    Assign shelters, schedule shifts, track arrivals, and generate daily headcount reports — all from the admin dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  PlayaOS is configurable for any Burning Man theme camp or regional event — not just Waffles & House. Each camp gets its own subdomain, branding, and member portal.
