Cooking class booking software

• keyboard_arrow_downHow is Anolla different from standard cooking class booking software?
  Most cooking class booking calendars only provide simple time slot reservations. Anolla is a comprehensive all-in-one revenue-growing management and booking platform for culinary courses, created specifically for cooking schools, culinary studios and food training providers. The platform unifies booking, participant management (CRM), kitchen resource planning, instructor schedule control and automated customer communication in one environment. Unlike static calendars, Anolla uses artificial intelligence that considers course capacity, ingredient availability and kitchen workload. Anolla supports dynamic pricing for different menus, themed workshops and special packages. Within the same platform you can manage hourly cooking classes, multi-hour workshops and multi-day cooking camps and retreats, all in a single integrated system.
• keyboard_arrow_downDoes Anolla support both hourly and multi-day cooking classes at the same time?
  Yes, this is precisely one of Anolla’s biggest advantages for cooking schools and culinary studios. Unlike many booking solutions, Anolla does not force you to settle for a single class format. The platform simultaneously supports one-off hourly cooking classes, multi-hour workshops, course series, recurring-session programmes and multi-day cooking camps. You can also manage variable-duration private menus, bespoke culinary experiences and custom solutions for corporate events. The entire schedule of classes, courses and special events is consolidated into a single central calendar for the culinary studio, which automatically accounts for the occupancy of kitchen stations, tools, ovens and instructors. Anolla is ideal for hybrid business models that combine public cooking courses, private party menus, corporate team events and bookable food experiences.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does the Anolla AI assistant reduce cooking class administrative workload and human errors?
  Anolla’s automated cooking class customer support AI assistant works 24/7 and immediately answers inquiries from both new and returning clients about classes, menus and bookings. The assistant automatically resolves up to 79.3%¹ of all standard questions, such as suitable skill level for a class, menu descriptions, allergy and special diet information, gift card use and booking changes. The assistant also resolves up to 52.4%¹ of first-level technical support questions, for example related to online booking, payments and user profiles, without involving an administrator or the cooking school reception. Automated customer communication frees studio staff from answering phone and email inquiries and reduces admin time by up to 39.3%¹. The result is a lower administrative burden, fewer double bookings, fewer incorrectly entered participant details and a significantly lower number of human errors when planning classes.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s dynamic pricing module help cooking schools optimize their prices?
  Anolla’s dynamic pricing module automates a cooking school’s pricing strategy based on course type, menu complexity, instructor level and demand. Cooking studios can set rules that change course prices according to time of day, day of the week, season, number of participants or customer group (e.g. repeat guests, corporate events, private classes). All price changes are applied automatically according to predefined business rules, also taking into account ingredient costs and kitchen capacity. The system helps sell lower-demand evening and daytime sessions at discounted rates to fill empty spots. During peak hours, weekend evenings, popular themed dinners and private culinary experiences, Anolla enables revenue maximisation. The result is better class occupancy, higher average booking value and greater overall profitability of the cooking class portfolio.
• keyboard_arrow_downIs Anolla suitable both for an individual cooking instructor and for a multi-location cooking school?
  Yes, Anolla is designed to scale for both independent cooking instructors and large cooking schools with multiple studios and locations. A single cooking teacher or a small cooking studio can start with the powerful free plan, which covers day-to-day class booking, participant registration and online payments. Cooking schools with several kitchens, studios and cities benefit from a centralized dashboard that gives a unified overview of all courses, instructor schedules and kitchen resources. The platform allows you to add an unlimited number of studios, kitchens, instructors, administrators and sales team members. Flexible role- and location-based access control (RBAC) lets you assign precise permissions to the head chef, studio manager, front desk, marketer and accountant, while keeping access to all cooking school data secure and controlled.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhich tools and platforms does Anolla integrate with for booking cooking classes?
  Anolla is built with an API-first architecture and supports all key integrations that a modern cooking school or culinary studio needs. For accepting online payments there is a direct integration with the Stripe payment solution, enabling you to securely sell single classes, course packages, gift cards as well as private wedding and corporate events. To measure marketing and sales performance, the software supports integrations with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel to track which campaigns generate the most bookings for cooking classes. Where needed, raw data can be exported to BI and machine learning tools to analyze course occupancy, cancellation patterns and repeat visits. In addition, the platform includes a powerful API and integrations with other systems such as email marketing platforms, accounting software, gift card sales environments and website content management systems to create a unified, digitally managed culinary hub.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat does the free package include and what do the paid features add for cooking classes?
  The free plan includes all the essential tools needed to smoothly launch cooking classes, workshops and smaller culinary courses: online bookings, basic course calendar management, participant registration, automatic confirmation and reminder emails, and a simple payment solution. This plan is ideal for a solo cooking instructor, a small cooking studio or a new cooking school that wants to start accepting bookings online quickly. Paid plans add unlimited automation (such as advanced notification workflows, waitlists, post-course sales campaigns), advanced integrations with marketing and finance software, more detailed profitability reporting per course and dedicated loyalty modules that let you offer membership programmes, repeat course discounts and personalised offers for frequent participants.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s usage-based pricing help cooking schools reduce business risks?
  Anolla’s usage-based pricing model is specifically designed to reduce the business risks of cooking schools and culinary studios. Cooking class providers don’t have to pay high fixed monthly fees during periods with fewer classes, thinner seasonal schedules or when the studio is temporarily closed. Costs always scale in proportion to the actual number of bookings and system usage, so software expenses move in line with course turnover. This model is ideal for seasonal cooking schools, summer cooking camps, themed holiday dinners and other food experiences with variable demand, allowing you to keep overheads under control and focus on delivering a high-quality culinary experience.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow quickly can I get my cooking classes up and running with Anolla?
  Getting started with Anolla usually takes just a few minutes, and the entire setup process is guided by a 24/7 context-aware AI assistant tailored to the specifics of cooking classes. Step by step you can configure class types, menus, prices, kitchen capacity, instructor schedules, and booking rules. According to Capterra, the platform’s ease of use is rated 5/5¹, and nine out of ten team members learn the system’s core functionality in under 30 minutes¹. This means cooking instructors, studio managers, and front-desk staff can quickly manage cooking class bookings independently without lengthy training.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat makes Anolla’s cooking class platform a future-proof solution?
  Anolla is a future-proof solution for cooking schools and culinary studios thanks to its scalable modular architecture that grows with your culinary concept. The platform evolves continuously through cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence that learns booking patterns, peak seasons and the most popular menus. Unlike static booking software, Anolla is built around a powerful API that allows you to add new features and integrations without disrupting day-to-day operations. The extensible modular platform also supports an IoT ecosystem in culinary studios: hardware integrations such as smart access control for participants, equipment rental management, kitchen appliance usage logs and sensors that monitor studio occupancy. This architecture enables us to continually bring the latest technologies to cooking schools, ensuring that your course booking experience, kitchen operations and customer journey remain at the forefront of the market.
