Check Your Shelves

Busy holiday seasons can take a toll on the stock and inventory. Take a look at last years records to see how much you used. This can give you a good idea about what to order for this year. If you’ll be offering a special holiday drink or appetizer, be sure to keep even more of those ingredients on hand, as dining guests love to get seasonal favorites.

Extra plates, bowls, and silverware can be helpful.
