Chefs Are Teaching
Your instructors are in the kitchen with students. Nobody's free to answer phones while demonstrating proper julienne technique or explaining the Maillard reaction.
Sound Familiar?
Every cooking school faces these challenges.
Dietary Complexity
Vegan, gluten-free, nut allergies, kosher, halal, every caller has specific needs. Capturing all the details correctly is critical for their experience.
Special Occasions
Date nights, birthdays, bachelorettes, corporate team building, each needs different handling. Gift certificates, private classes, group rates all require explanation.
Class Selection
"Is pasta hard?" "Which is better for beginners?" "Can I do sushi if I've never cooked?" Callers need guidance choosing the right class for their skill level.
Group Coordination
Corporate events need headcounts, menu customization and logistics. One inquiry can take 20 minutes of back-and-forth, time you don't have mid-class.
Evening Bookings
People plan weekend activities after work. By the time your 7 PM class ends, you've missed the callers booking for Saturday's pasta workshop.
The Cooking School Challenge
Why culinary experiences have unique phone problems.
High-Touch, Experience-Driven Bookings
Cooking classes aren't commodities. Someone calling about a couples class wants to know the vibe the cuisine options, whether they'll actually learn something. They have questions about skill level, what to wear, whether wine is included. Each call is a conversation, not a transaction.
And these are premium experiences, $85-$175 per person with private classes running $500-$2,000. A missed call from a corporate team looking for a 20-person event is serious revenue lost.
Dietary Details Are Non-Negotiable
A nut allergy isn't a preference, it's critical safety information. Capturing dietary requirements accurately is essential and doing it wrong means a ruined experience at best a medical emergency at worst. Your AI agent captures every detail and confirms it twice.
