How a bakery should handle holiday hours

How a bakery deals with holiday hours — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: a plugin login nobody has used since March. The holiday hours data is out of sync for a bakery.
Fixing holiday hours cost less than the lunch meeting where a bakery decided to wait another quarter. Waiting is never free.
We check holiday hours for a bakery once a quarter. It takes five minutes and has caught two problems in the past year. Both would have caused downtime within a week.
The job started when a bakery realised their holiday hours had been wrong for months. Nobody noticed because the site still loaded.
Big agencies solve holiday hours with a team. We solve it with a checklist and a dig command. The result is the same; the invoice is shorter.
We document holiday hours in a shared spreadsheet. It is not glamorous, but a bakery can open it on their phone at midnight if something breaks.
When a bakery asked for a quote on holiday hours, we sent a one-paragraph email instead of a slide deck. They signed the same day.
