RSM Australia’s Sydney office had a big day coming, and the order reflected it. Four seasonal fruit platters going out alongside lunch tells you this wasn’t a quick meeting setup. Someone was catering for a full room, across the whole day.

The lunch side leaned on the sandwich, wrap and baguette platters, 22 of them, which meant the food needed to carry the weight of a proper midday service rather than just sit as a gesture on the table. A Chicken Caesar and a Mediterranean Chicken salad platter sat alongside those, giving people something to add to their plate rather than choose between.

The morning and afternoon tea side was split between a large platter, a small platter and two rounds of assorted mini muffins, the 9 pack and the 20 pack ordered together. That kind of doubling up usually means they knew exactly how many people were coming through and planned accordingly.

Four fruit platters across a full day in a Sydney CBD office is never a throwaway addition. By the afternoon, they’re often what’s left standing when everything else is gone.
