Every business has a peak season. It could be a grocery store bustling during the holiday season or a packed seaside hotel in the summer. These are the times when consumer demand goes through the roof, and operational challenges are at their highest. Addressing the surge in demand is essential to making the most profit, delivering excellent customer service, and ensuring smooth operations during these lucrative periods.
