Twenty-two year-old Brisbane-based sandwich artist, Darcy Laverty is the friendly face of some of Subway’s global training resources, teaching thousands of new sandwich artists how to prepare the perfect Subway sandwich.

Now in his fourth year with Subway and working at the brand’s Annerley restaurant, Darcy’s training videos have inspired new sandwich artists coming into the industry, from as far away as France and those closer to home – New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore.

“Subway is an iconic, well-loved brand so when I was given the chance to help train other new sandwich artists from around the world through these videos, it was an opportunity I couldn’t refuse,” says Darcy.

“While it may look easy, there’s definitely a few secrets to building the perfect sub, including how to cut the bread, how to lay out the fresh veggies to be able to close the sub properly and what the right amount of sauce is.

“There are probably a million ways to create a sub but there’s one ingredient that remains the same: the human ingredient.  A great sandwich artist is able to create your sub, just the way you like it.”

In celebration of National Youth Week (QLD 1 – 9 April 2020), Laverty has been formally recognised by Subway for his dedication and passion. 

Subway Annerley framchisee Damian Culpeper says Darcy is truly one of a kind.

“Darcy brings a unique energy to the team – he’s patient with the team and guests, passionate about great food and always up for a laugh,” Culpeper says.

“While we share Darcy with the rest of the world through the training videos, the team at our Annerley restaurant is lucky enough to see him in action! For us, it’s great to know that thanks to Darcy’s videos, people can walk into a Subway restaurant anywhere and expect to get the same great experience.”
