A Global Sandwich QSR Concept by Fabio Viviani Hospitality for Elior North America

The Sandwich Shoppe & Deli is where the world’s most iconic sandwiches meet bold flavor, pressed perfection, and campus convenience. Created by Fabio Viviani Hospitality in partnership with Elior North America, this fast-casual QSR brings the warmth of a neighborhood deli together with the craveability of globally inspired paninis, focaccias, and handheld classics, built for students on the go.

This isn’t just a sandwich counter, it’s a celebration of the greatest sandwiches from around the world. From the streets of Milan to New York’s Jewish delis, from Paris cafés to Turkish kebab shops, The Sandwich Shoppe & Deli offers something for every craving and every mood, all made with quality ingredients, bold flavor profiles, and fast-service flow.

The star of the menu? Paninis and focaccias, pressed hot, crisp, and melty with a just-right golden crunch. Think smoked ham with truffle cheese and arugula, roasted vegetables with basil aioli, or spicy salami with provolone and giardiniera on house-baked focaccia. Each one is built to travel, made to move, and packed with flavor.

Alongside the panini lineup, we feature classics from the world’s great delis, stacked Reubens, pastrami on rye, Italian sub heroes, croque monsieur, and even regional specials like chicken schnitzel sandwiches or tuna melt baguettes. And because no deli is complete without cold sides, we round out the experience with rotating offerings like Russian salads, marinated vegetables, pasta salads, pickles, and deli-style chips, easy add-ons for a satisfying, full meal.

Every item is made to be fast, familiar, and filling. We’ve eliminated the excess and focused on what makes sandwiches great: quality bread, bold ingredients, the perfect press, and a little bit of attitude. Whether you want something hot and melty or cold and classic, The Sandwich Shoppe & Deli hits the spot every single time.

The concept is designed to function in high-volume, high-energy campus environments, with open service lines, modular production, and clear branding that draws a crowd. And with Chef Fabio Viviani’s name behind it, this isn’t just another sandwich station, it’s a destination students will recognize, share, and return to day after day.

Why The Sandwich Shoppe & Deli works on campus:

• Sandwiches are universal: fast, familiar, portable, and loved by all demographics

• Focused menu of hot and cold items with easy customization and combo potential
