Party size, first names, contacts, and requests arrive before the family, giving greeters one record to check.
Show package contents, prices, sizes, delivery, and duplicates as structured choices instead of handwritten notes.
Carry one order reference from the session to the gallery, print queue, pickup, and delivery status.
