  default

  response time)

- Relatively far away


Jimmy John's
-------------------------

- Does not provide napkins/plates
- Costs about $4/person when doing a party platter
- Easy to order
- Delivery is an option, but plan to have a cart to wheel them into the building
- Chips are common to pair with sandwiches, cookies less so

	- Chips are NOT a good idea for talks.  They're loud and distracting.
