Most of IH focuses on SaaS — but this offline business has better margins and growth than most startups here. $0 CAC, 90% online orders, $3.6M revenue. Here's what they did right.
Super interesting — this is a great reminder that distribution + product simplicity isn’t just a SaaS game.
What stands out is:
Online orders driving majority of revenue (not just foot traffic)
Simple, focused menu → easier ops + faster scaling
Strong demand = almost zero CAC (word of mouth + repeat customers)
Feels like they didn’t “hack growth” — they just nailed product + demand.
