Where abouts are you? We had a winter storm warning (Denver area) Thursday into Friday and got just a few flurries (they predicted up to 18")--so try not to sweat it, maybe it won't actually happen. If you do get the snow, you could offer a discount to those who treck out in it, or if it is really bad and have to cancel, why not try a "phone show"--you and your host get on the phone, direct people to go look at the products online, and tell them you'll call back in one hour to take orders and give a discount or some other incentive for purchases. Good luck!

Where is Upstate NY are you?? I just finished a party in the storm! It ended up being a great show, and everyone had to push eachother's cars to get out of the driveway! Lots of laughs... only the crazy locals showed up though
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my cooking show is affected by a winter storm warning?
If your cooking show is affected by a winter storm warning, it's important to prioritize safety. Reach out to your guests and inform them of the situation. You can then discuss rescheduling options that work for everyone involved.
How do I reschedule my cooking show due to a winter storm?
To reschedule your cooking show, contact your Pampered Chef consultant or host. They can help you find a new date that accommodates your guests and ensures everyone can participate safely.
Will my guests still receive their orders if we have to reschedule?
Yes, your guests will still receive their orders even if the cooking show is rescheduled. Orders are processed separately, and your consultant will ensure that all items are delivered as planned.
Can I still host a virtual cooking show if my in-person show is canceled?
Absolutely! If your in-person show is canceled due to a winter storm, consider hosting a virtual cooking show instead. This allows your guests to participate from the safety of their homes while still enjoying the cooking experience.
What if I have already purchased ingredients for the cooking show?
If you've already purchased ingredients for the cooking show, you can either use them for a virtual show or save them for the rescheduled date. If you need to return any items, check the store's return policy to see if that’s an option.
