Sandwich platters are the right call when you’re feeding a group at a party or event and individual ordering doesn’t make sense. They’re shared, self-serve, and easy to scale. Here’s everything you need to know about ordering platters through AMARA Subway in Cobb County — how many people they feed, what they cost, when to use them, and how to order.
What’s in a Subway Sandwich Platter?
Each standard Subway catering platter includes 15 individual portions. We make them from five footlong sandwiches, each sliced into thirds. Guests serve themselves — 2 to 3 pieces per person depending on appetite and what else is on the table.
- Bread and filling specified at ordering (within our catering menu)
- Served buffet-style — guests take their own portions
- Starting at $40 per platter
- Available at all six AMARA Subway locations in Cobb County
- No minimum platter count — order 1 or 20
How Many People Does a Platter Feed?
At 2 to 3 pieces per guest, each platter feeds 5 to 9 people. For safe planning, use 1 platter per 5 to 7 people — especially if the platters are the only food at the event.

Choose platters when: the event is social, people are moving around, self-service is fine, and individual portions aren’t required.
Choose box lunches when: it’s a meeting, people are seated, dietary labels matter, or you’re feeding people who are eating while working. For more detail on ordering box lunches, see our office lunch catering guide.
Platter Pricing and Delivery
- Starting price: $40 per platter
- No minimum platter count — order as few or as many as you need
- Delivery: available on catering orders totaling $250 or more — that’s 7 platters at $40 each ($280 total)
- Pickup: available at all six Cobb County locations for any order size
For events where you want delivery but your platter count falls under the threshold, consider adding box lunches to reach the $250 minimum — a common approach for events that include both a social portion and a meeting component.
