New Forests had a working lunch to sort out in North Sydney, and nine platters of sandwiches, wraps, and baguettes handled it without any fuss. That volume tells you something about the size of the gathering. Enough to feed a full room, but the format kept things moving. People could grab and go without crowding a table or waiting on anything.
What works well about that kind of order for an office environment is how little coordination it requires on the day. The platters land, they get set out, and the team gets on with it. No serving, no queue, no mess. For a busy workplace like New Forests, that practicality matters more than most things. The baguettes tend to disappear first.
