## Description

Managing towel inventory for large groups shouldn't be a guessing game. This MCP gives your AI agent the specific logic needed to handle beach towel logistics. Instead of you manually counting heads and multiplying by towel counts, your agent does the heavy lifting. You can quickly figure out how many towels to order for a specific crowd or check if you have enough surplus left over after a group is served. It also helps you organize service levels by automatically sorting groups into Small, Medium, or Large tiers. Whether you are managing a resort, a beach club, or a large event, this tool ensures your inventory stays aligned with your guest counts.
