Scrubs and specialty workwear sit in a rare subscription sweet spot: high repeat purchase (healthcare workers replace scrubs every 3–6 months), variety-driven (color, fit, embroidery, collab), and B2B-adjacent (hospital accounts, group orders). Generic subscription apps can’t handle the group layer or the color/fit rotation.
Dough Dog supports Group subscriptions for hospital or practice accounts (multiple staff members, one billing, matching colors), merchant-curated rotation for color and collab discovery, and real-time variant inventory across sizes and colors. 1% of subscription revenue + 19¢ per transaction. No monthly fee. Launch in under 12 hours.
They optimize for reordering. We optimize for anticipation.
The scrubs-subscription capabilities standard platforms can’t model — and Dough Dog ships natively.
