A brief edition of this story from the Viga archive.

01

Think in shared formats

The article explores sandwich stations, tacos, pasta, mezze, potatoes, chicken and pizza with salad as possible approaches. These are planning ideas to discuss, rather than a list of guaranteed current menu items.

02
