Retrospective archive entry: December 10, 2025

Created September 21, 2026 for the daily planning archive. The archive date is an organizational label, not a past publication claim.

Holiday functions can overlap even when their service times do not. Combine the receiving and preparation calendars to find the highest simultaneous inventory. Use that peak in the rental request rather than adding guest counts without considering when stock occupies space.
