The Challenge
Natalie's chocolate chip cookies had a loyal local following in Seattle, but the business was stuck — limited to friends-of-friends orders through DMs, with no way to reach the wider market.
The Solution
Since Washington permits online cottage food sales, Natalie set up a full online ordering system through RestauNax. Within a week, they were taking orders from across Seattle — and shipping to customers statewide.
