✓ Class Booked • Italian Pasta Making
You're losing revenue every day your kitchen sits empty. Customers call after hours, no-shows waste your prep time, and your team can't keep up. There's a better way.
Someone discovers your cooking classes at 9 PM, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked with another venue that answered immediately.
While you're teaching a class, five more calls come in. Booking inquiries, dietary restrictions, gift certificate questions—you can't be everywhere at once. Students get frustrated waiting, and you lose bookings.
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 an empty spot.

Saturday afternoon, Alex is at the grocery store. She completely forgot about the class. You're in your kitchen, see the missed appointment in your CRM, and mark it as "No-Show." That's it. One click. The system takes over from here—you don't have to think about what to do next.

Alex's phone rings. It's the third call from your AI. She's finally free—just finished her shift at work. She answers. The AI remembers their entire conversation from last week. "Hi Alex, I noticed we missed you on Saturday. Would you like to reschedule?" Alex says yes, picks a new time, and hangs up. The calendar updates automatically. No one had to do anything.
Alex shows up for the rescheduled class. She loves it. You mark it complete in your CRM. The moment you click "Complete," the system springs into action: post-class follow-up emails get queued, the feedback form is ready to send, and upsell workflows begin. All happening automatically—you're just teaching the class.
Alex just finished the class. She's walking to her car when her phone buzzes. It's a registration form for an advanced pasta class from Frontdesk Forms—already filled with her name, email, and the class she just completed. The AI guides her through dietary preferences and date selection right on her phone. When she submits it, you're immediately notified. The upsell process begins automatically—all without you lifting a finger.

She just describes the problem, and it's handled.
There's a special chef demonstration this Saturday. Alex gets notified automatically—email, text, or both, your choice.
