A charge labeled something like “LPC#6478467#SANTA CLAR” is very likely tied to a Le Petit Chef booking, deposit, or gift card purchase associated with a specific show ID and a venue in or near Santa Clara/Santa Clarita. The “LPC#” pattern is used in their own payment descriptors (for example, gift card transactions described as “LPC#GIFTCARD#…”) and is known to appear this way on card statements when reservations or deposits are processed for Le Petit Chef events.([booking.lepetitchef.com](https://booking.lepetitchef.com/paypal.giftcard.payment.php?utm_source=openai)) This can be a one-time deposit that’s applied against the final bill, a prepayment for a fixed-price menu, or a gift card purchase.
If you’re unsure about this charge, start by checking any recent Le Petit Chef reservations you or a family member made—either directly through the lepetitchef.com booking engine or via a participating hotel or restaurant in the Santa Clara/Santa Clarita area. Look for booking confirmation emails, calendar entries, or gift card confirmations that match the date and approximate amount of the charge. If questions remain, you can contact Le Petit Chef/2Spicy through their official website or by reaching out to the venue where the experience was held, providing the date, amount, and the “LPC#xxxxxxx” reference from your statement; for suspected fraud, your card issuer can also confirm details and dispute the transaction if necessary.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to Le Petit Chef.
Why does my card statement show a charge like "LPC#[numbers]#SANTA CLAR" instead of "Le Petit Chef"?
Le Petit Chef and its operator 2Spicy Entertainment GmbH often use internal booking or gift card identifiers in the payment description, such as "LPC#[booking or card ID]" followed by a location reference (e.g., a city like Santa Clara/Santa Clarita). Their own payment integrations show descriptors in this style (e.g., "LPC#GIFTCARD#...") and these can appear truncated on bank statements.([booking.lepetitchef.com](https://booking.lepetitchef.com/paypal.giftcard.payment.php?utm_source=openai))
What kinds of purchases from Le Petit Chef typically appear on my credit card?
Most card charges from Le Petit Chef are related to deposits or prepayments for a fixed-price dining show, full advance payment for a specific menu, or the purchase of a Le Petit Chef gift card. Many venues require a non‑refundable or partially refundable deposit per guest that is later applied to your final bill on the night of the experience.([lepetitchef.com](https://lepetitchef.com/en/bali?utm_source=openai))
Could this Le Petit Chef charge be just a deposit, with another charge later for the meal?
Yes. Many Le Petit Chef venues take an upfront deposit at booking and then charge the remaining balance at the event, so you might see an initial "LPC#..." charge around the reservation date and a second restaurant or hotel charge on the day you attended. The deposit is usually deducted from your final bill; check your booking confirmation and the receipt from the night of the dinner to reconcile the amounts.([lepetitchef.com](https://lepetitchef.com/en/bali?utm_source=openai))
How can I confirm whether this LPC charge is linked to my Le Petit Chef reservation?
Search your email for "Le Petit Chef" or "LPC" and compare booking or gift card numbers to the digits in the "LPC#xxxxxxx" portion of your statement. Also review your calendar around the transaction date for any Le Petit Chef event, and if you booked via a hotel (such as a Hyatt, InterContinental, or similar partner), check their confirmation emails as well. If you still can’t match it, contact the hosting venue or use the contact form on lepetitchef.com with the transaction date, amount, and reference number so they can look it up.([lepetitchef.com](https://lepetitchef.com/en/bali?utm_source=openai))
How do I modify, reschedule, or cancel a Le Petit Chef booking and avoid extra charges?
Le Petit Chef bookings are managed at the venue level, and cancellation or rescheduling policies are set by each hotel or restaurant partner. Many locations allow changes up to a set time before the show (often 24–48 hours), after which deposits may become non‑refundable. To adjust a reservation, use the link in your confirmation email or contact the specific venue listed there; always review the cancellation terms in your booking confirmation before making changes.([lepetitchef.com](https://lepetitchef.com/en/bali?utm_source=openai))
How do I request a refund or dispute an unexpected Le Petit Chef charge?
Start by contacting the venue or hotel that hosted your Le Petit Chef experience and provide your name, reservation date, and the "LPC#..." reference from your statement. If the charge relates to a no‑show outside the allowed cancellation window, they may decline a refund based on their policy, but if it’s a duplicate or incorrect amount, they can usually correct it. If you strongly suspect fraud and cannot link the charge to any booking or gift card, contact your card issuer promptly to dispute it; they may ask for any correspondence with the merchant as supporting documentation.([lepetitchef.com](https://lepetitchef.com/en/bali?utm_source=openai))
Does Le Petit Chef place temporary authorization holds on my card?
Depending on the venue’s payment processor, you may see a small temporary authorization or a pending “LPC#...” transaction when you first make a booking or update your card details. These holds are used to verify your card and typically drop off automatically within a few business days, leaving only the actual deposit or final charge once it is captured by the merchant. If a small pending amount lingers or converts into a posted charge you don’t recognize, contact the venue or your card issuer for clarification.
Who do I contact if I have questions about charges from Le Petit Chef?
For booking‑specific questions, contact the venue listed in your confirmation email (hotel or restaurant) using the phone or email provided. For general questions about the Le Petit Chef concept or online bookings, you can use the contact details provided on lepetitchef.com or the corporate contact information for 2Spicy Entertainment GmbH in Sulzbach (Taunus), Germany, which operates the Le Petit Chef brand.([2spicy.com](https://www.2spicy.com/de/imprint?utm_source=openai))
