The Problem

KIDS' COOKING CLASSES
KEEP LOSING ENROLLMENTS

You're losing enrollments every day classes sit unfilled. Parents call during class time, no-shows waste your prep, and your team can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When It Matters Most

A parent finds your class listing at 9 PM after bedtime, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already enrolled with another program that answered immediately.

The Cost
$800/month
Lost per empty class spot

Your Team Is Drowning in Calls

While you're teaching a class, three more calls come in. Enrollment questions, dietary restrictions, schedule changes—you can't be everywhere at once. Parents get frustrated waiting, and you lose enrollments.

The Cost
40+ calls/day
Per cooking instructor

Trial Classes No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You prep ingredients, set up stations, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted prep and another empty class spot.
