The coordination behind every full kitchen — and why generic tools miss it.
Most cooking class operators aren’t short on interest — they’re short on certainty. A kitchen seats a fixed number, ingredients are bought per head the day before, and a no-show or a last-minute “can I bring two more?” throws off the whole class. The booking is easy. Knowing exactly who’s coming, and that they’ve paid, is the hard part.
Generic booking software is built for appointments — one customer, one slot. A cooking class is the opposite: a shared session with a hard seat limit, prepaid so you can shop with confidence, often with dietary needs to track before anyone arrives. Kong is built around how class-based, prep-heavy operations actually run.
What a class-based, prep-heavy operation needs from its booking system — on the web or the Kong app.
Set the seat limit for each class and Kong stops taking bookings the moment it’s full — no overbooked kitchen, no turning people away at the door.
Guests choose how many seats and the price updates — one cook or a group of six — so you stop quoting per-head totals by hand.
Run a festive-season discount, or sell class vouchers as gifts that guests redeem against a future session. No notebook required.
Kong takes payment when the guest books — deposit or full, via Stripe or Xendit — so you buy ingredients for seats that are actually paid for.
A confirmation email on booking and a reminder before the class — fewer no-shows for a session you’ve already shopped for.
Dietary notes, allergies and party details come in with the booking, so you prep the right portions before anyone walks in.
Every booking lands on the right session, so each class’s seat count and guest list build themselves. Block out a day for a private event or a closed kitchen in one click — your booking pages stop taking bookings for it instantly.
No sign-up fees. No monthly subscriptions. No lock-in contracts. We charge a small 1.8% booking fee to the guest at checkout — you keep 100% of your tour price.
Stripe or Xendit payment processing fees still apply.
Kong is processor-agnostic. Connect Stripe or Xendit — whichever you already use, or whichever fits your market. Kong never holds your money.
Trusted by guests all over the world for reliability and payment safety.
