How does the tool handle leftovers?

Can I calculate ice needs for chilling drinks?

Yes, by using `calculate_ice_needs` and setting the `isChillingRequired` parameter to true, the tool adjusts the ice weight for chilling.

How are beverage amounts calculated?

The `calculate_beverage_requirements` tool calculates volume based on the number of guests, the total duration of the event, and the specific consumption rate per hour for each drink type.
