What it does

Before each season: hotels within 3 km of the stadium, the best-rated first, with phone and website, in a sheet for the ticket office building away fan travel packages.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Istanbul, find stadiums in the area, find hotels nearby, remove duplicates, sort them by rating and keep the top 20, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Away fans need beds near the ground. A rated list makes packages easy to build.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 45 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 1 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
