With inflation driving up the cost of everything from dining out to entertainment, companies are feeling the pressure to be more mindful of their team-building budgets. The cost of fine dining, premium cooking classes, and even casual outings continues to rise, making it harder to justify expensive team events. And with economic uncertainty ahead, prices for these activities are likely to keep climbing.
The good news? You don’t have to spend a fortune to create a memorable, engaging experience for your team. A hands-on ramen-making class offers a fun, interactive, and budget-friendly alternative to costly outings—without sacrificing quality or enjoyment. Whether you’re a startup looking to maximize your budget or a corporate team aiming for a high-impact experience without the high cost, here’s why ramen-making is the best value for your next event.
The Cost Breakdown: Ramen Class vs. Other Team Activities
💡 Key Takeaway: A ramen-making class offers significant cost savings compared to fine dining or premium cooking experiences while providing hands-on engagement that strengthens team connections.
Why Ramen-Making is the Ultimate Budget-Friendly Team Activity
1. Interactive, Hands-On Fun (Without the High Price Tag)
Unlike traditional team-building events that involve sitting at a table or following an instructor passively, a ramen class gets everyone involved. Your team will:
✅ Roll and cut fresh noodles
✅ Customize their bowls with different broth flavors and toppings
✅ Work together in a fun, collaborative environment
And at the end, they get to enjoy a full meal with no extra costs required!
2. Transparent Pricing—No Hidden Fees
Some cooking classes charge extra for premium ingredients, while dining events often come with surprise service charges. At The Story of Ramen, pricing is all-inclusive—one flat rate covers the private class, ingredients, instruction, and a complete meal.
3. A Unique & Inclusive Experience
Many traditional team outings—such as wine tastings—may not be suitable for everyone, especially if some team members don't drink alcohol. A ramen-making class is an inclusive experience where everyone can fully participate and enjoy the event.
What Companies Say About Our Ramen Team-Building Classes
💬 "We were considering a holiday dinner at a steakhouse, but at $150 per person, it felt excessive. Instead, we booked a ramen class, and it was a huge hit! Everyone bonded over rolling noodles and customizing their bowls—plus, we saved over $1,000!"— Samantha L., Executive Assistant at Meta
💬 "We used to book high-end cooking classes, but they cost nearly double and weren’t as engaging. With the ramen class, everyone got hands-on, and it was a better experience overall!"— Steffanie L., Event Coordinator at Destination 360
💬 "Great value for a team-building event! Compared to a typical $180 cooking class, this was more affordable and way more fun. Plus, everyone actually learned a new skill!"— David M., Director at a Deloitte
