How to grow your payments app with cookery schools and cooking classes

- 3See every payment as it happens
Cookery schools and cooking class hosts run classes in their own kitchens, community halls and restaurants, from bread making and pasta to curry and baking. Places are paid for before ingredients are bought, many classes are given as gifts, and private groups and team events pay a deposit to book. A payments app that sends a booking link, sells gift vouchers and splits a group booking can win these hosts, and every student who pays sees your app.

Get paid before buying ingredients
A payment link for each class means places are paid for up front, so the host buys ingredients for people who will turn up.
