Introduction

Funday Natural Sweets is a leading confectionery brand delivering low-sugar, gluten-free treats that straddle the line between healthy snacking and indulgence. Daniel Kitay, founder and CEO, oversees every aspect of the business, from warehouse operations to cash flow management and scaling for global expansion. With all this to Juggle, Daniel needed to simplify processes to save time, and look at other cost saving measures. That’s where PayRewards comes in.

Key Issues Before PayRewards

Lack of visibility:
Disorganised payment processes, meant the visibility of payments was lacking, causing cash management concerns.

Lack of Rewards:
With a large volume of business expenses, including transport logistics, packaging, and manufacturing. Daniel frustrated when yielding no additional benefit from paying these business expenses.

Struggles with cash flow:
Due to restrictions of Vendors, Funday was under utilizing their credit card, causing cash-flow issues, particularly during growth stages.

“A lot of money was being spent on stock and day-to-day expenses, but as a business, we weren’t seeing anything in return for those transactions. Cash flow was also tight during the early stages."

How PayRewards helped Funday

Streamlined Payments:
Whether it’s weekly retainers, payroll, or ad-hoc expenses, the platform simplified how payments were processed, by centralizing them all into one place.

Reward Points on Expenses:
By channeling payments like stock purchases and payroll, through PayRewards, Daniel earned credit card rewards, and PayRewards Points that were previously unavailable, offsetting the cost of international travel for the team.

Cash Flow Flexibility:
Leveraging credit card options with up to 55 days of interest-free payment. “This gave us more flexibility with our cash,” Daniel shared.

The Results

Unlocking Benefits for Funday:

Travel in Style:
“We manufacture overseas and travel frequently. Using points from PayRewards, I’ve been able to travel business class—a game-changer for productivity. Arriving refreshed after long flights means I can hit the ground running and get more done.”

Employee Rewards:
Daniel has used rewards to strengthen employee engagement. From tickets to Christmas gift cards, the program has helped recognize staff contributions. “I was even able to get sold-out tickets through the concierge service for one of my team members—an opportunity I wouldn’t have had otherwise.”

Everyday Savings:
By paying Vendors via PayRewards, Funday earns full credit card rewards that wouldn’t have been possible. This maximizes the return on every dollar spent.
