I just noticed that I spelled a guests name wrong on a show I did back in January. Well that gues just had a show for me and the past host is getting the Host special. Will it matter at all or am I ok? I am only off 1 letter, an e which should have been an i!!
 
So long as it is a misspelling you should be okay. If it's a totally different name then you might want to call HO.
 
No it will not as long as you have the past hosts number in they will put it through
 
I had a host who went back to her maiden name so I called HO to find out how to deal with it. They told me so long as the # of bookings doesn't go beyond the number booked from that person's show it will be ok. I thought that was weird since I thought they checked the names...

So you shouldn't have a problem with her name spelled wrong.
 
Well then I guess it won't hurt to finally change the spelling and the maiden name to the married name that I keep putting in for one of my past hosts, lmao!
 
Just correct it. It won't be a problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I notice a guest's name is misspelled after placing an order?

If you notice a guest's name is misspelled after the order has been placed, you should contact your Pampered Chef consultant as soon as possible. They can assist you in correcting the spelling before the order is finalized, ensuring that the guest receives their order under the correct name.

Will correcting a guest's name spelling affect the host's special offers?

No, correcting a guest's name spelling will not affect the host's special offers. The host's special is based on the total sales and the number of orders, not the specific names of the guests. As long as the order remains intact, the host's benefits will remain unchanged.

How can I ensure that the guest's name is spelled correctly before the order is finalized?

You can ensure that the guest's name is spelled correctly by double-checking the order confirmation details with the guest before finalizing the order. It's a good practice to confirm the spelling during the ordering process to avoid any issues later on.

What happens if the guest's name is misspelled on the order confirmation?

If the guest's name is misspelled on the order confirmation, you should reach out to your Pampered Chef consultant immediately. They can help you make the necessary corrections before the order is processed, ensuring that the guest receives their order with the correct name.

Is there a deadline for correcting a guest's name spelling?
