Bakers: bread-making workshops with online booking

How bakers can run bread-making workshops with online booking: classes with places per bench, children's sessions, private groups and what to bring.

5 min read

Bread-making workshops fill the bakehouse in quiet afternoons and bring customers closer to your craft. They work when the group fits the bench space and everyone knows what to expect. With Book, people book a place in a workshop on your own booking page, and full workshops leave the page.

Workshop services

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

ServiceExample slotPlacesExample price

Durations, places and prices are examples: set your own.

Places per bench

Set each workshop's places to the bench space and equipment you have. Each online booking takes one place, and a full workshop leaves your page. Places left aren't shown, so say the group size in the description. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date.

Children and private groups

For children's sessions, parents book one place per child and give the child's first name and age in the note. For a birthday or team-building group, create a private workshop with one place: one person books the whole session, and the description says how many people it covers.

What to bring and allergens

Say in the description whether aprons are provided, what participants take home, and which allergens are used in the bakehouse. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email.

Regular classes from your list

For a school or club booking a series, create the bookings yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the contact gets a confirmation with a calendar file.

Changes

Participants can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't sell gift vouchers, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on special order collection slots. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.

Yes. Set the places to your bench space.
How do children book?
A parent books one place per child.
Can a group book a private workshop?
Yes. Create a private service with one place.
Can I sell gift vouchers?
No. Book doesn't take payments.
