Check-in software for cooking schools
Ticketed classes, hands-on workshops, and kids' holiday programmes — one platform, one roster. Built for schools that run knife skills, pasta-making, and kids' cupcakes without forking the system.
What keeps cooking schools up on a Tuesday
- Single-ticket classes dominating your revenue; packs are rare.
- Kids' holiday programmes sold as 3-day blocks that don't match any normal pass.
- Ingredients cost per attendee that affects price breakeven at 6 vs 8 students.
- Dietary requirements that the chef needs to know before prep day.
