Sometimes service businesses get excess orders they cannot fulfill. How do these businesses deal with excess of orders, do they just decline, hire additional staff or share with competition?

Most of them usually get external help, they give some of the work to other companies to help them or they simply hire extra hands to cover some of them.
You give the orders to other competent businesses in your line. You guys can share profits. That's collaboration in business.
Hiring more staff is not a feasible option for many small businesses since they get the additional orders only a few times in a month or less frequently.
There's no two ways about this it is to get extra hands to help you deliver the orders and you make more money
It's the main purpose do almost every entrepreneur to make more and more sales on their businesses. However there reach a time where there are more sales on excessive demand that oftenly cause a lot of shortages across the business.
There's always a period like this. it is to have a backup plan before hand on how you can tackle this and deliver swiftly
For me l can say that, every entrepreneur dreams for more and more orders. So in event of excess orders, it's the responsibility for the entrepreneurs to take advantage of that and leverage through that.
You need to train staff on order processing, inventory management, and customer service to minimize errors and ensure accurate order fulfillment.
