August is coming.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:01:40 GMT

Ech.

It's the hottest, annoying-est time of summer, and what is our mission? Buying school supplies. We will hike into the fiery furnace with our list of must-haves and mix with other frazzled parents tangling over that last Justin Bieber binder.

At least you can stay in for lunch. And not just any lunch, but for your group, a premium sandwich box from Alonti, featuring our cool NEW California Club loaded with good stuff like turkey, provolone, sprouts and avocado.

Order the same morning and we'll deliver within three hours, saving you a trip out into an August inferno ...

that's hotter than Justin Bieber.

It's Moon Day!

Greg Bahry — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:06:52 GMT

Maybe we should clarify.

We mean the actual, literal moon on which Neil Armstrong first set foot this day in 1969. Assuming that you do not believe the whole thing was a giant hoax whose countless co-conspirators have kept mum for 41 years.

In that case, you might also think anything as sumptuous as our NEW California Club — with turkey, bacon, provolone, sprouts, and avocado — could exist only in Photoshop.

So ... order a premium sandwich box and we'll deliver proof in three hours or less. That's one small step for you;

one giant leap for lunchtime.

Awesome.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:35:14 GMT

Thanks for that one, California ...

the most overused teen-term since "groovy."Also, you took the gender out of "dude;" gave us "gnarly" to describe something fatal or fabulous, depending, and blessed us with countless other "like, so totally whatever" expressions.

But we forgive you, because you've given your name to the latest delicious addition to our premium sandwich box — the NEW California Club with roasted turkey, bacon, provolone, sprouts, avocado, tomato and lettuce.

And our three-hour guarantee means we can "totes bounce it to you, like, super fast to the max."

I know, right?!

Think INside the box.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:08:48 GMT

Nothing wrong with that.

Especially when the box in question is Alonti's beautiful new executive box lunch packaging.

And absolutely especially when the box contains our delicious new Cranberry Turkey sandwich, with stacks of thin-sliced turkey breast topped with tangy Swiss cheese and accented with the sweet-tart zing of cranberries.

And absolutely positively especially when you consider that our three-hour guarantee means you can have those fabulous boxes full of tasty sandwiches at your office door in a jiffy.

Isn't that what "impactful" "thinking outside the box" to "proactively" brainstorm "blue sky solutions" is all about ...

at the end of the day?

It's officially summertime.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:21:01 GMT

So how come you're still so busy?

Isn't this the season when the pace is supposed to slow down while you enjoy swimming and bicycling and barbecuing and kicking back on the deck with friends and frosty drinks (and — sigh — mosquitoes)? Where will you find the time?

You'll find some online, where you can order lunch from Alonti — perhaps our new Cranberry Turkey Sandwich — in about a minute flat.

Find a little more with our three-hour guarantee, which saves you having to run out to pick up a last minute lunch. See, you've already made up enough time to sip that frosty drink.

And smack that nasty mosquito.

It's Turkey Lovers Month.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 14:23:42 GMT

Who knew?

Kinda seems like that should be more of a fall-ish, November-ish sort of thing, seeing as that's when we get grocery stores full of frozen turkeys and those accordion-fold decorations ...

But, several years ago, some Nebraska governor declared that June would be the month and there you go.

So, surprise, surprise, this would be a highly appropriate time to try our new Cranberry Turkey Sandwich with stacks of turkey, tangy Swiss cheese and the zing of cranberries.

Our three-hour guarantee means that you can order the morning of and we'll bring lunch for your group right on time.

Long before November.

If you thought your boss was picky ...

Greg Bahry — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 12:13:53 GMT

Be glad you never worked for this guy ...

Frank Lloyd Wright was born 143 years ago today, destined to become America's preeminent architect and egotistical fussbudget. It is said that he would drop by homes he'd designed and, if he found that his clients had rearranged the furnishings, would berate them until they put things back.

Like Frank, we take pride in our creations — including our delicious new Cranberry Turkey Sandwich with stacks of turkey, tangy Swiss cheese and the zing of cranberries.

However, we do take a different approach to client relations. When we deliver lunch (in three hours or less!), we'll be happy to save you time and arrange it for you ...

but we'll let you specify how.

Dare ya.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:40:47 GMT

Oh, yeah?

June 1 is Dare Day. Do something outlandish. However, let us have no sticking of paperclips into disk drives or "accidental" dunking of coworkers' cell phones in coffee mugs. Even if they do make way too many personal calls.

For a safer dare, try out our new Cranberry Turkey Sandwich on a lunch group. Its zesty Swiss and zingy cranberries will catch "ho-hum sandwich" eaters off guard. And they'll thank you for it.

We dare you to try our three-hour guarantee, too. It lets you order late and still get lunch delivered on time.

Double-dog dare ya.

Honor the fallen ...

Greg Bahry — Tue, 25 May 2010 13:45:20 GMT

Thank the living.

You don't have to be the tiniest bit political to know that an active-duty soldier's life is tough. Far from home. Away from family and friends. Removed from everyday conveniences and small pleasures like swimming pools and holiday barbecues.

So ... this week while you're online ordering lunch from Alonti, we hope you'll consider making a quick side trip to the Let's Say Thanks Web site sponsored by Xerox.

In about half a minute, you can choose a card and a sentiment, then send them on their way to a soldier overseas. One last to-do before the long weekend begins.

Have a safe and happy one.

We've graduated!

Greg Bahry — Tue, 18 May 2010 12:47:24 GMT

Despite improper usage.

In A+ English, "graduated" is a transitive verb, so we'd have to say "we were graduated." And then people would break our eyeglasses and call us names.

So, we'll use B English to say how proud we are about graduating this year to the next level of catering service, with spiffy new packaging and a stepped-up menu.

If you're still ordering "C-average" lunches, you can graduate, too — to our delicious new Cranberry Turkey Sandwich with stacks of sliced turkey, tangy Swiss cheese and the zing of cranberries.

With our easy online ordering and three-hour guarantee you can have it delivered for your group in record time and look like a genius.

Hope you can run fast.

That explains everything.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 11 May 2010 12:32:38 GMT

Kind of.

For reasons that are appropriately mysterious, today is Twilight Zone Day. We say mysterious because there's no connection between this date and the TZ franchise. The series did not begin or end on May 11. Nor is this the date of creator Rod Serling's birth or death. No doubt, the explanation lies in another dimension.

As does the connection between Twilight Zone Day and our delicious new Cranberry Turkey Sandwich with stacks of turkey, tangy Swiss cheese and the zing of cranberries.

We can't think of a tie-in, except maybe for our three-hour guarantee that lets you order late and still, mysteriously, get lunch delivered right on time. Our next stop ...

You guessed it.

Get the last laugh.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 12:49:19 GMT

You have four days.

On Friday, April comes to an end. So much for National Humor Month. Among other designations, May is National Duckling Month, which is cute, but not really laugh-out-loud funny.

What you could do for grins is order our tasty new Cranberry Turkey Sandwich for your lunch group. Give us just three hours' notice and we'll have it at your door right on time.

Meanwhile, let everyone know what a colossal amount of work it took to arrange a wonderful, high quality lunch on terribly short notice.

The joke's on them.

Definitely not a legal holiday.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 12:54:32 GMT

Today is 4:20.

As in 4:20 PM — according to Wikipedia, the time of day when members of the San Rafael High School (emphasis on "High") class of 1971 met to smoke cannabis under the statue of Louis Pasteur.

Today, it's a counterculture holiday when dudes in dreadlocks take time to toke. After which they run out for munchies. So you might want to stay off the roads.

Instead, have us deliver lunch for your group. We suggest our delicious new Cranberry Turkey Sandwich with stacks of turkey, tangy Swiss cheese and the zing of cranberries.

And thanks to our three-hour guarantee we'll bring it right to your office door at the appointed time. However, if that time is 4:20pm ...

we'll be a little suspicious.

It's what's inside that counts.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:59:28 GMT

	Sure, but ... What's outside counts, too. That's what our customers told us. They said that while our catered food was great, our packaging was kind of ... meh. Fine for everyday, but not for important meetings.
	So, we got busy and designed new, upgraded packaging with quality materials and a beautiful custom look. Our new packaging travels conveniently and displays food beautifully. It's sturdy, compact, stackable, recyclable ... So not meh.

We missed Work Harder Day.

Greg Bahry — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 12:25:05 GMT

	Oh, man. That's a bummer, because on our list of Good Times, that one rates right up there with Go Play in Traffic Day and Get Yourself Tasered Day. We can make up for missing Work Harder Day by naming today Work Smarter Day. It's no less annoying and easier to observe: Just order lunch from Alonti.
	Our streamlined menu makes it a snap. And our three-hour guarantee means that even last-minute orders can be at your office when you need them. It's our way of making your day a little less crazy. Because to paraphrase moms everywhere ... Every day is work harder day.

Know who'd love our new menu?

Greg Bahry — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:08:49 GMT

	Spock. Not because we've added Plomeek soup to it. (We seriously did not make that up. Go ahead and Google it.) He'd love it for its logic. Its reason. Its rationality. To get to this gem of cosmic common sense we asked ourselves, "If we ordered lots of catering, what would we want a menu to be?" That made it obvious.
	We simplified, organized and included useful details. We laid it out with nice white space and clean type so we wouldn't need a search party to find what we wanted. Finally, we put it on our home page, so we could download it in a snap, then place an order online ... at warp speed.

Cranberries, Turkey and Swiss ...

Greg Bahry — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:15:47 GMT

	Oh my! We're not in Kansas anymore, my pretties. Alonti premium sandwiches (f'rinstance our new Cranberry Turkey) come from a realm far beyond the usual. There, flavors are brighter, combinations are bolder, and people generally agree that it's not just a good 'wich. It's a wicked-good 'wich.
	And now it's even better. With our upgraded catering program, every Alonti sandwich boasts 50 percent more meat than before. Plus, they're delivered in our beautiful new executive packaging ... within three hours, guaranteed. How do we pull that off? Ruby slippers.

It's International Panic Day.

People the world over are running about in alarm: "Dove è il pranzo?" "Я забыл!" "Das kann nicht sein!" "C'est un désastre!" "¿Qué debo hacer?" "我这样死了." *

Meanwhile, you are the picture of calm. The secret to your serenity? Alonti's three-hour guarantee.

So you forgot to place the lunch order for today's big meeting. You can still get any item on the Alonti menu within three hours, beautifully packaged, delivered to your door.

Which leaves you free to focus on other matters of importance, like whether you remembered to put the meeting on your boss's calendar.

Oops.

*Where is the lunch? I forgot! That cannot be!
It's a disaster! What to do? I am so dead.
