WSP Australia’s Sydney office put in a straightforward order this week, and sometimes those are the ones worth noting. Two Artisanal Cheese Platters heading into the city, timed for a midday sitting.

Cheese platters work well in office settings because they don’t demand much from the people eating them. No serving, no reheating, no fuss around the table. The platters just sit there and do the job, and for a team that’s likely moving between meetings or wrapping up a morning session, that kind of ease matters more than people give it credit for.

Two platters for a Sydney office also suggests someone thought carefully about portions. Not one large platter pulling double duty, but two separate ones keeping things clean and accessible from both ends of the table.
