The day started with a confident “we have this.” Then came the end-of-game cleanup. Trash bags, recycling containers, wipes, and a small broom should be visible before the first plate is served. A quick reset - label containers, then contain grease and food waste - turned it back into a good story instead of a long afternoon.

This is one of those little things that makes cleanup so much easier! Having everything ready before the food comes out saves a lot of hassle later.
