Winter revenue (5-6k/mo) fails to cover fixed costs (7k/mo rent + CAM), threatening survival of a seasonal gelato shop.
General social media marketing does not drive consistent foot traffic or convert local customers into regulars; claw machines attract families but do not boost core dessert sales enough in winter.

- Automated loyalty program that rewards local repeat visits
- Pre-built school fundraiser campaign templates with tracking
- Push-based offer suggestions (e.g., 'Warm Gelato + Coffee Bundle' based on temp drop)
Target Users: Owner-operators of seasonal dessert shops (ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt) in cold climates, typically with 1-3 locations.
Revenue Model: $49/mo basic tier, $99/mo with advanced analytics and automated campaign execution
