Twenty-four individual sandwiches and wraps going out to The Rocks for AOC told us straightaway this was a working lunch with real numbers behind it. That volume tends to mean people are eating at their desks or between sessions, and having everything portioned individually makes that easy without anyone needing to manage a shared platter mid-meeting.
The seasonal fruit platter came alongside, which at that scale gets used more than people expect. It tends to disappear in the background while the sandwiches and wraps do the heavy lifting, but it fills a gap for anyone not reaching for bread at midday.
The two packs of assorted mini muffins were probably the detail the AOC team noticed most. Eighteen muffins across a group that size does not last long, but it gives the end of lunch somewhere to go rather than just stopping abruptly.
