The Backstage Operating System for Fashion Shows
The fitting ran late. The call sheet is already wrong. Someone just texted the group chat a new lineup and now there are three versions. Models double-booked. Looks assigned twice. The run-of-show living in someone's inbox.
Runway Runbook replaces all of it.
Our Solution
Manage casting, build your lineup, run the show, and coordinate your entire team — all from one platform. Every role has a purpose-built view. Every update is live. No version confusion, no lost threads, no starting from scratch each season.
Designed around the pace of live production — fast check-ins, real-time lineup updates, and a run-of-show your whole team can access the moment it changes.
Designers, models, and backstage crew each have their own view. One tool keeps the full team aligned without anyone seeing what they shouldn't.
Archive a show, open the next one. Your team, your templates, and your history carry forward — so you never have to rebuild from zero.
Zero spreadsheets · Zero printed call sheets · Zero lost threads
Platform Features
Create and manage multiple shows from a single dashboard. Each show holds its own production details, headcounts, timeline, team, and guest list — so nothing bleeds between seasons or events. Archive a show, start the next one, keep every production cleanly separated.
Post open calls or browse the model roster to invite talent directly. Review applicants from one casting board — accept, reject, or hold. On casting day, generate numbered QR bibs, check models in on arrival, print number cards in one tap.
Post crew calls by specialty — dressers, hair leads, MUAs, stage managers — or browse crew portfolios and send direct invitations. Accept or decline applicants from the same hiring board.
Assign models to show order slots and build a confirmed lineup. The lineup view gives your styling team a clear, ordered picture of every look from opening to close.
Build a timed, segment-by-segment production schedule. Assign responsible parties, add notes, and export a clean run-of-show PDF your entire crew can reference on show day.
Invite press, buyers, media, and influencers from the show record. Track confirmed, declined, and pending RSVPs. Assign seating tiers and manage a waitlist — all before the show.
Issue digital tickets to confirmed guests by tier. On show day, use the mobile-friendly door view to check guests in as they arrive — no printed lists, no clipboard chaos.
Stay informed at every stage of production. Get notified when you're accepted to a show, when the run-of-show is updated, when a guest RSVPs, or when a casting call closes — all inside the platform.
Models build a complete digital comp card with measurements, physical attributes, bio, and portfolio images — always up-to-date and visible to every designer on the platform.
Models mark their available dates so designers can plan casting around real schedules, not guesswork. Availability updates automatically when a show is confirmed.
Rates are set by the designer and visible before you accept a booking — whether you're a model or a crew member. No more discovering your fee after you've committed. Agreed rates are locked to the show record and visible to both parties.
Backstage crew members build a professional portfolio page — bio, specialties, and work history — that designers can browse when staffing a show. One profile, every show.
Accepted crew members get read-only access to the show they're working — call times, model lineup, run-of-show, and production notes. Everything they need, nothing they shouldn't see.
