The APP Group placed a straightforward order this week, and sometimes that simplicity is exactly what a workplace needs. One box of Mini Sweet Tarts landed at their Sydney office, sixteen pieces ready to sit out for the afternoon.

What makes a 16 pack like this work in an office setting is how little it asks of anyone. No plates, no serving, no decisions. The tarts can go straight onto a meeting table or a kitchen bench and people help themselves. For The APP Group, that kind of low effort treat is probably more practical than anything elaborate, particularly mid week when the focus is on getting things done rather than organising food.

Sixteen pieces also disappears faster than most people expect.
