I would say Cake is perfectly adequate for a job like this, there is nothing there that I could forsee being a problem.
Similar applications? I think you have a fairly bespoke job there. Payment gateways shouldn't be too tricky, there are a couple of good PayPal examples around for Cake. Paypal has the facilty for subscriptions etc also... Reminder emails could easily be done via a cronjob on the server accessing a Cake controller method. Cake's built in ACL library could handle the user levels etc, but you may be able to roll your own simpler system using user groups and the Auth component (again, some great examples to be found with a quick google) As for timeframes, thats entirely down to the developer - I don't think anyone could give a general answer to that... d.
