If demand exceeds capacity, extend hours or do an online-only drop via app or email link. Do NOT drop in-store if you can't serve 80% of demand within reasonable wait (under 30 min). If you must do in-store, send a text-message queue system and let customers wait at home—they scan a code, receive a time slot, return at that hour.
