Decisions to pick from
| If this is true | Do this |
|---|
| Peak is late morning | Finalize lunch specials the night before |
| Peak is after work | Update dinner promos by mid-afternoon |
| Alerts go out after the peak | Move send time earlier |
| Staff post to social first | Flip the order: live menu first, then social |
The takeaway
Peak hours are an operations clock. Publish before guests arrive in the data, not after the kitchen is already busy.
