16. What is your attendance & make-up policy? (Members Only)

Our classes are carefully planned with fresh ingredients and dedicated staff time to provide a high-quality experience for every student. To ensure fairness and smooth operations, the following policies apply to active members only:

Regular Class Attendance

  • Please notify us at least 24 hours before class if your child will be absent.
  • If we are not notified within this timeframe, the missed class is not eligible for a make-up, as ingredients and staffing have already been prepared.

Make-Up Classes

  • Each enrolled member may schedule up to five (5) make-up classes per calendar year.
  • Make-ups are available only while membership is active.
  • Once a make-up class is scheduled, it cannot be canceled or rescheduled.
  • If a student does not attend a scheduled make-up class, it will be counted as used due to preparation and staffing.

Timing of Make-Ups & Lesson Availability

  • We encourage scheduling make-ups within one week of the missed class, as ingredients for that lesson may still be available.
  • After that time, specific ingredients may no longer be available. In this case, the student may still attend a make-up class but will participate in the lesson being taught that week, rather than the original missed lesson.

Membership Status & Make-Ups

  • Make-up classes are a membership benefit and must be used while the membership is active.
  • If a membership is canceled, any unused make-ups are forfeited.

Why Our Policies Matter

Our programs require advanced ingredient purchasing, food preparation, and chef scheduling. These guidelines help us:

  • Minimize food waste
  • Preserve ingredient freshness and quality
  • Ensure proper staffing and kitchen readiness
  • Create fairness for all members
  • Deliver a consistent, high-quality culinary experience

Participation in Culinary Clubhouse programs constitutes agreement to all attendance and make-up policies.

17. Do you offer make-ups for drop-in classes?

No. Make-up classes apply only to members enrolled in ongoing weekly programs. Drop-in reservations do not qualify for membership make-ups.

For drop-in or single-session classes:

  • Cancellations made 24 hours or more before class may be credited toward another class.
  • Cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable.
  • Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to cancel.

If a class is canceled due to low enrollment (fewer than four students) or unforeseen circumstances, families will be notified promptly and offered a full credit toward another class or a refund.

20. What if I need to cancel my membership?

All new memberships begin with a required three (3)-month starter commitment. To cancel after this initial period, we require one (1) month’s written notice prior to the end of the three months.
