Imagine clocking out with the spot already picked, a dozen oysters on ice, a cocktail worth the walk, and a seat by the water waiting. No searching, no bad pours. Just show up and unwind.
Every one runs start to finish, the spots, the timing, the order to do them in, plus reservations, maps, budgets, and a backup for each.
