Every colleague chips in what feels right, in every office and from home, and nobody sees who gave what. Each one is named in the KadoBook, with a message if they like. Add a KadoClip and the messages become a short video reveal for the farewell party.
Add the person who is retiring and set the closing date before the party. It takes about two minutes.
Invite your colleagues
Invite them by e-mail from the app, so the reminders reach them, and share the link in Slack or Teams too: every office and everyone working from home can chip in, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with no app or account.
Let the reminders do the chasing
With automatic reminders on, KadoPool nudges the people you invited by e-mail who haven't chipped in yet, about 3 days and 12 hours before the closing date. You see who has chipped in, never who gave what.
Send the gift
The retiree receives it in the KadoPool app, with the KadoBook of everyone's names and messages, and the KadoClip if you added one.
Everyone who chips in is named in the KadoBook, wherever they work, and adds a message with the free app.
A KadoClip for the party
A short video reveal of everyone's messages, from $2.49 per recipient, or with the photos colleagues add in the app, from $3.99, taken from the pool when you send the gift. KadoPool offers discounts when the pool has several recipients.
What the retiree receives
Their choice: gift cards, prepaid cards (up to $999), or a mix.
A KadoBook: every colleague's name and message, in one place.
What it costs
Organizing is free. Each payment carries the card processing and KadoPool's 2% fee: about $1.53 on a $25 gift. You choose whether it comes out of the gift or is added on top. See pricing
Questions
When do they get the gift?
When you send it from the app, once the pool has closed. Set the closing date for the day before you want them to have it, and send it on the day. They don't need an account first: they get one e-mail with the gift and open it in the free KadoPool app.
Do coworkers need the app?
No. They chip in from the link on any phone or computer. Only you, to set up and send the gift, and the retiree, to open it, use the app.
Can I keep it a surprise?
Yes, always: the retiree hears nothing from KadoPool until you send the gift. Just share the link where the retiree won't see it.
More questions
Can colleagues in other offices take part?
Yes. Anyone with the link chips in from any phone or computer, wherever they work.
Do I hold the money?
No. Payments go through Stripe, never to you. As the organizer, you never touch the money.
