Office day and summer party in Donaustadt: plan both phases
A working day followed by a summer party combines different situations. For a Donaustadt company, do not simply extend lunch into the evening. Give daytime food and the celebration separate purposes, counts and handovers, coordinating the rooms, staff and equipment where they overlap.
Maintain two counts through one contact
Count daytime participants and evening guests separately. Some attend lunch only; others arrive after work or bring a companion. Allocate menu choices per phase. One contact maintains both lists and sends consolidated changes. Include mealtimes and the intended atmosphere so the initial quotation reflects both events accurately.
Treat the room change as work of its own
Resetting a work area for a party takes time. Confirm meeting finishes, furniture moves and lunch returns. Use an outdoor area only with confirmed access and an alternative. Keep service routes free during the transition and assign the reset explicitly; sharing an address does not remove this work.
Give lunch and the evening different food roles
Lunch may call for a complete main, a clear plant-based option and efficient serving. The evening might use reception bites, a buffet or sharing. Coordinate the sequence for guests attending both. Plan evening portions independently, without depending on lunch leftovers. Seasonal ingredients can connect the menus while keeping their roles distinct.
Bring staffing, equipment and closing into one plan
Some equipment may be reused only with an agreed collection and reset in between. Other tasks need extra staff or another delivery. Compare the complete day, not only menu prices. Name an after-hours contact and collection time, and keep weather changes within the same communication chain.

Questions about this occasion
Can the same tableware be used at lunch and dinner?
Confirm quantities, preparation, timing and responsibilities first. Do not assume double use. Establish when items become available and who prepares them for the next phase, then decide whether extra stock is needed.
Does the evening need its own weather plan?
If any part is outdoors, the alternative must suit evening attendance and service. A meeting room sufficient at lunch may not fit the party. Confirm space, reset time and the decision contact.
