The APP Group had a busy one earlier this week. Twelve sandwich, wrap and baguette platters went out to their Sydney office, and from the quantity alone it was clearly a working lunch situation rather than anything ceremonial.

What makes an order like this function well is how the food moves around a room. Baguettes, wraps and sandwiches together means people can grab something substantial or something lighter depending on what they feel like, without anyone needing to make a decision in front of a crowd. Twelve platters across a team suggests the food was spread across multiple tables or meeting rooms rather than set at one central point.

The APP Group has the kind of headcount where that sort of distributed setup actually matters. Nobody was waiting in a queue by the end of it.
