Automated Employee Birthday Deliveries
An automated B2B retention service that integrates with company HR systems to automatically send birthday cakes to employees so they feel recognized. The business reached $150,000 in ARR in Norway by charging $80 per cake with 50% margins to companies with 40 or more employees. It currently runs almost entirely on autopilot, passively invoicing $12,000 a month with a single part-time customer service rep.
