## Million Dollar Meal

When Resend hits a revenue milestone, every team member gets a budget for a celebration meal. No rules about where. It could be your favorite fancy spot, Michelin rated, or the cozy local spot down the street. Just go somewhere that feels special and enjoy it.

The budget can also go toward childcare if that's what makes the night possible. We want the whole thing—getting out the door, the meal, the memory—to actually happen.

This one is intentional. Revenue milestones are team wins, and the people who support us at home are part of that story too.

### The Details

- MDM should be used at one meal time per revenue milestone.
- Childcare costs are allowed to be included.
- Spend your MDM with loved ones, or alone. It's your time to celebrate.
- Each MDM, a new Brex limit will be created.

## Hack Week Pizza

Every hack week ends the same way: pizza and demos.

It's become a tradition. While the team shares what they built, everyone also shares their favorite pizza from wherever they're from or wherever their taste has taken them. Breakfast pizza. Corn pizza. Dessert pizza. The weirder, the better.

It's one of those rituals that sounds small but ends up being one of the most looked-forward-to moments of the week.

### The Details

- Plan to enjoy your pizza during the demo day on Friday. With our team across the globe they may even have them for breakfast or dinner. If the time doesn't work for you, order for when does!
- Each Hack Week, a new Brex limit will be created.

## Offsite Experiences

We don't just eat well at offsites, we learn where the food comes from.

In Italy, we made gnocchi from scratch, then headed into the countryside to hunt for truffles. We found some. Then we sat down for lunch at the farm where they were harvested to a truffle filled lunch.

These aren't just activities. They're how we experience the places we visit and get to know each other outside of a work context. It's hard to replicate good food, shared with people you like, in a place you've never been.

## Cooking Club

Food doesn't stop at the table. For the team members who want to share their skills, there's the Cooking Club. A Slack channel to share recipes, swap kitchen experiments, and obsess over the details of a dish the same way we obsess over the details of a product.

It started naturally, the way the best things at Resend do. People were already sharing what they were cooking. The club just made it official.
