December is the busiest month for deliveries. Company parties, family meals, and get-togethers with friends generate an exceptional volume of orders.
Plan your menu for mid-November celebrations. Test the recipes, calculate the costs, photograph the dishes, and post them online no later than early December.
Holiday menus should be festive but achievable in quantity. Avoid overly complex dishes that slow down production. Prioritize shareable formats (platters, assortments).
December 31st is a very loud evening with few delivery drivers available. Close orders at 8 PM - 9 PM to guarantee quality and avoid insurmountable delays.
Packaging stocks must be double-anticipated in December. Suppliers are also overloaded and delivery times are lengthening. Order in mid-November.
Plan a reinforced staffing schedule for the last three weeks of December. Extras and seasonal workers must be trained before the rush, not during.
