COVID-19 Safety Plan
As the safety of our students and our team members remain our number one priority, we have reviewed and brought some changes on how we deliver the VIVE experience.
We have developed a COVID-19 Safety Plan below to keep you and the community safe and to combat the spread of the virus. Please read the plan carefully as it will affect the experience to a certain degree.

Additional information about cleaning processes:

COVID-19 UPDATE
VIVE Cooking School has re-opened on the 12th of June 2020. As we are still in uncharted territories, we have to adapt our operation as well as our process so we can continue to serve you in the best possible condition:
We have reviewed our cancellation policy for our Cooking Class (excluding Private Event, and Venue Hire) to offer as much flexibility as possible around rebooking a class during this period to accommodate the evolving nature of COVID-19.
- Our class reminder emails will be sent 5 days prior to the class.
- We are happy to issue you with a credit note valid for 6 months if your rebooking request is within 4 weeks and up to 72 hours before the event.
- If your rebooking/cancellation request is within less than 72 hours to 24 hours before the class, you may send someone else to attend the class providing they are not experiencing any symptoms or have been in contact with anyone suspected of having COVID-19. If you are unable to send someone else to attend the class, you will be offered a partial refund of 50% of your ticket value in the form of a credit note valid for 6 months. This will help to cover some of the costs associated with the running of the class, such as the chef, ingredients which we have already catered for you and the spots held for you, which we will not be able to refill.
- Your ticket(s) will be forfeited if you don’t show up for the class or you cancel your ticket(s) within 24 hours before the class.
- Should VIVE Cooking school need to cancel a class, we will notify you as soon as possible by email. You will be issued a credit note valid for 12 months.
Our e-gift cards are valid for three years and make the perfect gift for someone celebrating a special occasion from self isolated, giving them something fun to look forward to when this is all over. It will also make a big difference in supporting our business at this time. #supportsmallbusiness #weareallinthistogether
We wish wellness to you and your loved ones. There is no better time to strengthen our bonds, to stand together (digitally), to help each other through this storm, and come out stronger on the other side.
