Food pros: taking bookings for classes and tastings

Cooking classes, bread workshops, wine and cheese tastings: each one needs a set number of people, ingredients bought in advance and a note on allergies. Put them on a booking page with places per session. People book at any hour, a session closes itself when it's full, and you shop for exactly the right number of guests.

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, and say what's included: ingredients, drinks, what guests take home.

Set places to your cooking stations or tasting seats. Each online booking takes one place, so a couple books twice. When the last place is booked, the session 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 guest's calendar file. Ask in the description for allergies and dietary needs in the note, so you can adapt the menu before buying ingredients.

For birthdays, hen parties or team events, create a private service with one place per slot: one booking takes the whole session. Say in the description the maximum group size and what's included. Slots of different services can overlap, so keep private and public sessions at different times.

Create seasonal classes, such as Christmas baking or summer grilling, with an end date on their slots. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date.

Say in the description the minimum age, according to the rules that apply to you, and whether a non-alcoholic option is available.

Guests 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.
