Engineers Australia in Sydney had a straightforward morning brief, and the food matched that energy. Two large fruit platters came out first, covering a good stretch of the table with melon, berries, and citrus, the kind of thing people reach for before the room has fully settled. Mini frittatas sat alongside, warm and substantial enough to hold people through a longer session without anyone needing to slip out early.
The mini muffins, two packs of twenty, were split between the start of the morning and whatever was left for a mid-session break. That spacing matters more than people realise. Food that runs out in the first fifteen minutes leaves a long gap, and Engineers Australia had enough to avoid that.
The fruit platters were the first thing to go.
