Catering guide

Hot trays or
cold platters?

Cold platters are the fast, flexible choice for lunch meetings. Hot trays turn the same budget into a sit down meal for parties and dinners.

The short answerCold sandwich platters can be ordered the same day and serve 6 or 12. Hot trays serve 12 (half) or 18 (full), need 1 to 2 days notice, and suit dinners, parties and big gatherings.
