Weekly auto-reset a Laravel demo app

I have worked on a client's work where I needed to present a public demo of the work in progress App, but wanted to reset the demo after a week by restoring the database to its clean state.

I did it with a simply scheduled task in the schedule method of my application's App\Console\Kernel class.

namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    /**
     * The Artisan commands provided by your application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $commands = [
        //
    ];

    /**
     * Define the application's command schedule.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
     * @return void
     */
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('migrate:fresh --force --seed')->weekly();
    }

    /**
     * Register the commands for the application.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function commands()
    {
        $this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');

        require base_path('routes/console.php');
    }
}

Frequency options are well documented on Laravel docs. You can change it to daily or hourly if you prefer.
