Simulation Details

Harvest Feast is a leading meal-kit service company known for its innovative approach to meal delivery and commitment to high-quality ingredients. The company offers a diverse range of subscription plans, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and family-friendly options. The premium plan, featuring exclusive recipes curated by renowned chefs and high-quality, organic ingredients, is a significant revenue driver.

Laura Martinez, the Retention Lead, advocates for offering aggressive discounts, while Alex Johnson, the Subscription Marketing Manager, believes that expanding the premium menu based on customer feedback is a more sustainable solution.
