Private chef booking software: what you set up
Book gives you one public booking page with your services and free times. Clients book without creating an account. Setup takes an evening:
- Create one service per format, with the guest count and what's included.
- Give each evening one place, so it can't be double-booked.
- Open a short menu meeting as the first step.
- Share your link on Instagram, your website and with event planners.
One booking per evening
An evening slot with one place leaves your page as soon as it's booked. Slots of different services can overlap, so if you open dinners and lessons on the same evenings, close the other one for that date as soon as one is booked.
Guests and allergies
Ask in the booking note for the address, number of guests, allergies, dietary needs and kitchen equipment. The note reaches you in the new booking email.
Regular clients
For weekly meal prep, book the following weeks yourself from your bookings list; with an email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file.
What Book doesn't do
Book doesn't take payments or deposits, or send reminders. Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you.
