Pastry chefs: filling pastry classes with online booking

Macarons, choux, croissants: pastry classes fill quiet afternoons in a lab and bring new customers to the shop. Put each class on a booking page with one place per station. People book at any hour, a class closes itself when every station is taken, and you prepare doughs and ingredients for exactly the right number.

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

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

Give each class as many places as you have stations and ovens. Each online booking takes one place, so two friends book twice. When the last place is taken, the class leaves your page.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the participant's calendar file. Ask for allergies in the note.

For birthdays and team events, create a private class with one place per slot: one booking takes the whole class. Slots of different services can overlap, so keep private and public classes at different times.

Galettes in January, chocolate before Easter, Yule logs in December: create each seasonal class with an end date on its slots. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date.

Participants can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and rescheduling works across services. Book doesn't email clients about changes, sends no reminders and doesn't take payments or sell vouchers. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
