Booking for private chefs
Soopaspace turns a dinner enquiry into a quote, holds the evening with a deposit, and invoices the balance, so the booking side runs itself while you cook in their kitchen.
Free to start with your booking page, bookings and clients. Everything else is one paid plan: £9.99/month billed yearly, or £12.99 monthly.

From enquiry to a held evening
A private dinner is a conversation about numbers, tastes and a date, not a fixed price. A client enquires from your page, you send a quote for the evening, and a card deposit on it holds the date, so a booked Saturday night is really booked.
- Clients enquire straight from your page
- You send a quote for the evening
- A card deposit on the quote holds the date
- A date booked ahead stays put
The balance, paid without chasing
After the dinner, turn it into an invoice the client pays by card from the email, with the deposit already off. Paid, part-paid and overdue are all tracked, and a reminder chases anyone who forgets.
- The balance invoiced after the dinner
- Paid by card from the email
- The deposit comes off the total
- Paid, part-paid and overdue all tracked
Menus and gift vouchers
Offer a menu consultation clients book at no charge, so planning the evening is easy. Gift vouchers sell from the same page for an anniversary or a birthday dinner, money in before you shop for a single ingredient.
- A free menu consultation, booked online
- Gift vouchers sold straight from your page
- Income in before the work
- Everything in one place, not three apps

Common questions
- Can I quote for a dinner rather than charge a set price?
- Yes. A client enquires, you send a quote for the exact evening, and a card deposit on it holds the date. The balance is invoiced once the dinner is done.
- How do clients pay?
- A deposit by card holds the date, and the balance is paid by card from the invoice after the dinner, with the deposit already taken off.
