Appointment-Focused CRM for Cooking Class Businesses
Student records built from class bookings, with dietary notes and booking history
SchedulingKit gives cooking class businesses appointment-based student records: every class or event booking creates or updates the student's profile with contact details, booking history, total spent and staff-only notes such as dietary restrictions. It doesn't include waitlists, allergy alerts or event proposal tools.
Cooking schools run capped classes, private lessons and group events. SchedulingKit keeps bookings tied to each student. A student books a pasta class (a Group booking with 12 spots) and their record is created from their email. Staff add "shellfish allergy; beginner knife skills" to the staff-only notes, and the instructor checks the notes before prepping ingredients. Private events can be set up as their own services with a deposit. SchedulingKit doesn't run waitlists, send allergy alerts, or manage corporate event proposals.
Client Management Challenges for Cooking Classes
Dietary restrictions and allergies not documented leading to unsafe ingredient exposure
Student skill levels unknown before class causing pacing problems
Private event bookings managed separately from regular class enrollment
No tracking of which cuisines or techniques students have already learned
Class capacity not managed accurately with last-minute overflows
Corporate team-building inquiries lost due to no lead tracking system

CRM Features for Cooking Classes
Automatic Client Records
Every online booking creates or updates the student's record from their email address, with name, phone, address and notification preferences.
Booking History
Each record lists upcoming and past bookings, total bookings and total spent, so you can see what a student usually books and when they were last in. Shows which classes each student has taken.
Dietary and Skill Notes
Add private notes to the record, such as allergies, dietary restrictions or skill level. Notes are internal and are there the next time the client books. Check notes before each class; there are no automatic allergy alerts.
Capped Classes
Run classes as Group bookings with a capacity, so a class closes when full.
Deposits and Invoices
On Standard and above, take full payment or a deposit at booking through Stripe, PayPal or Square. The remaining balance goes on an invoice the client pays from a link; it is never charged automatically. Useful for private events.
Gift Cards
On Pro and above, your team issues gift cards that are emailed to the recipient and redeemed at booking. Clients can't buy gift cards online.
