For Culinary Schools
Incoming Call...
Prospective Student
"Hi, I'm interested in your pastry program. Can I tour the kitchen facilities?"
AI Receptionist
"Absolutely! Our pastry arts program starts next month. I can schedule a campus tour for you. Are you available tomorrow at 2 PM?"
✓ Tour Scheduled • Pastry Arts Program
You're losing enrollments every day prospective students can't reach you. They call after dinner, campus tours get no-shows, and your admissions team can't keep up. There's a better way.
A career-changer discovers your culinary program at 9 PM, calls to ask about enrollment, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked a campus visit with another school that answered.
While you're conducting a campus tour, three more calls come in. Program questions, financial aid inquiries, tour requests, class schedules—you can't be everywhere at once. Prospective students get frustrated waiting, and you lose enrollments.
You clear your schedule, prepare the teaching kitchens, and show up. They don't. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty seat in your next cohort.
