UK Operator FAQs & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, factual answers to help you evaluate and scale with SmartBookings.

How does SmartBookings enforce workstation kitchen capacity caps?

You define the exact number of cooking stations available (e.g. 12 stations). SmartBookings monitors real-time sales and closes the workshop as sold-out once filled.

Can we collect food allergy and dietary requirements during registration?

Yes. Mandatory intake fields capture vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut allergy, and dietary restrictions to ensure your chef can prep appropriate ingredients.

Can clients book private corporate team cooking events and baking parties?

Yes. You can offer whole-kitchen private hire packages for corporate team building or children’s birthday baking parties with automated deposit collection.

Can we sell gift vouchers and multi-course workshop bundles?

Yes. The system includes digital gift cards, discount codes, and multi-course bundles that customers can buy online for birthdays and anniversaries.

Why choose SmartBookings for your cookery or baking school?

It automates kitchen capacity, ensures compliance with UK food safety and allergy guidelines, manages ingredient preparation lists, and takes 0% commission.
