Cooking Class Registration, Payment Policies and Guidelines!
At Birmingham Bake and Cook Company, we feature a wide variety of Chef Demonstrations, and cooking classes, both hands-on and demonstration – oriented, in our in-store instructional kitchen. We are extremely fortunate to be able to tap into Birmingham’s exciting food scene by featuring local chefs and culinary artisans. The number of participants varies greatly; we have space for 8 – 10 for hands on classes and up to 18 – 24 for demonstration classes.
Registration Information
Class registration may be made over the phone or in person. While we have never had any issues with credit card security, we are tightening up our system toward further protecting your credit card information. Toward this end, payment is required at the time of registration. No credit card information is stored either on-site or electronically. We accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Discover Card. Please plan to arrive 10 - 15 minutes prior to the start of each class for not only on an-time start, but to check-in at the register, and to collect your receipt.
Gift certificates may also be used. If the amount of the gift certificate is less than the cost of the class, the difference must be charged to a credit card at the time of registration per normal. Cancellation penalties apply to gift certificates as if they were cash. If the value of the gift certificate is greater than the cost of the class, the difference may be used per normal for store merchandise or credited to future classes.
Cancellation Policy
- There is no financial penalty for a standard cancellation up to 72 hours in advance of the scheduled class.
- There is a 50% refund to your credit card for a cancellation 72 - 48 hours in advance of the scheduled class.
- There is no refund for “no shows,” or for a cancellation up to 48 hours in advance of the scheduled class.
Modifications
- If you are unable to attend a class, you may choose to send someone in your place. However, you will be responsible for resolving the financial arrangement amongst yourselves.
- Changes may be made to the menu without notice based on freshness and product availability. We reserve the right to cancel classes based on insufficient enrollment, Chef Instructor emergency or illness, or inclement weather. However, we will always strive to make suitable substitute arrangements in these cases to avoid any inconvenience for our registrants.
