How to use this
Group preorders fail when pickup is treated like a normal checkout. Use this to plan how many items to stage, how much volunteer packing time is needed, and how many pickup batches keep the line sane.
Formula
items_ready = orders x items_per_order x (1 + buffer)
packing_hours = items_ready / (packing_rate x volunteers)
