How HR teams save hours every month

Keeping track of birthdays, ordering cakes, and making sure everyone receives equal attention takes time. With Daymaker, you do the work once β€” everything else runs automatically. The result: fresh cake, delivered on the right day, with zero stress.

‍

The problem: Workplace birthdays quietly drain time

Celebrating employees matters, but birthdays often pull HR and admin teams away from higher-value work:

  • Who has a birthday next week?
  • Which cake do they prefer?
  • Who orders β€” and who picks it up?

Add dietary requirements, drink preferences, approvals, and delivery timing, and it’s easy to lose several hours every month to coordination alone.

The solution: Automated cake delivery

With Daymaker, birthdays are set up once. From there:

  • Standard selections – define preferred cakes and drinks for your company
  • Reminders – get notified ahead of time if you want to make changes
  • Delivery – on the birthday, the cake arrives automatically

No reminders, no spreadsheets, no last-minute messages. The system handles the logistics β€” while local partner bakeries handle the craftsmanship.
