Pinnacle Investment Management had a full table going at their Sydney office recently, and the order reflected exactly how their team eats during a working lunch. Ten sandwich platters anchored the whole setup, which makes sense when you are feeding a crowd that needs something handheld and straightforward between meetings.

Alongside that, the Italian antipasto platter added a bit more substance to the table, and the veg and vegan favourites sushi platter gave plenty of people a lighter option without having to request anything separately. The fruit skewers were the kind of thing people reach for once the main plates start to clear, easy to grab without needing a plate.

Ten sandwich platters is a serious quantity. That tells you something about the size of the group they were feeding that afternoon.
