Seeking a system with the right ingredients
Camp Cook will tell you that a good recipe comes from experience and experimentation. They might say the same about a good online registration system.

The Houston, TX cooking school with the “Big Adventures in Cooking” slogan uses a number of creative platforms to teach individuals of all ages how to cook and work together in the kitchen. Year-around classes, holiday workshops, 12 weeks of summer camps and a Spring Break camp are just some of the offerings on Camp Cook’s menu. 

Taking registrations without an online system required too much data entry and manual payment processing, invoicing and confirmations. Camp Cook’s first experience with an online registration system didn’t fare much better, as the system was too complicated and difficult to use, and any customizations required work with technical teams and additional costs.  

Add a pinch of ABC Signup
Because Camp Cook provides different classes and camps for different age groups, it was essential that the registration system have the functionality to create multiple event templates that could easily be updated and posted. Enter ABC Signup, and its simple tools for copying and customizing event pages and their associated registration forms.

“I customize a lot of templates and really love the fact that I can do that with ABC Signup and cut, copy and paste events as I need to,” said Mary Aragon, program director at Camp Cook.

And with ABC Signup, Camp Cook’s customizations come with no added costs or long meetings with the system provider.

“I can’t say enough good things about ABC Signup. I just love the program,” Aragon said. “It has really made a difference in our cooking school and the way we handle our paperwork and registrations. It is easy, straight forward, and flexible.”

Share the recipe
Aragon credits ABC Signup for aiding her company’s top line growth by making classes more accessible and registration administration less time consuming. 

“It’s definitely increased our revenues, as people like to register online – they can register at home in their underwear if they want to. And it makes our lives easier. We can just put the information out there, it works with our merchant account, and the registrations come in.”

Now, Aragon is doing what anyone with a good recipe does – sharing it.

“I’ve given [ABC Signup’s] name out several times to people looking for a registration system,” she said. “It has served us really well.”
