Office managers: September starts on Tuesday, and there's no ramp-up week. 🗓️
Here's the whole checklist: screenshot it, and you're done:
☑️ Re-baseline headcounts: July numbers run 20–30% low once everyone's back
☑️ Move Monday, Sep 7 (Labor Day) to Wednesday: don't cancel it. Tuesday will be quiet, Wednesday will be packed
☑️ Refresh the menu: if it hasn't changed since spring, that's why participation is down
☑️ Lock your holiday party date: early-December mid-week slots are gone by October 🎄
☑️ Add buffer Sep 11–13: Art & Wine Festival closes Castro St, restrictions start Friday afternoon 🎨
We flex headcounts up to 48 hours out: no re-quoting, no penalty. And we schedule delivery windows against the local event calendar, because food that lands 40 minutes late isn't a food problem.
