Dwight D. Eisenhower once said "you will not find it difficult to prove that battles, campaigns, and even wars have been won or lost primarily because of logistics", and Napoleon is alleged to have said "an army marches on its stomach. To be effective, an army relies on good and plentiful food." The issues of logistics and supply chain have always been a massive consideration for leaders of any successful organisation to deal with over the centuries and hospitality is no different. Get your supply chain wrong, and you have very dissatisfied guests in the long term.
