Team lunch in Meidling: several departments, one workable plan
A shared team lunch needs more than a total headcount. In a Meidling office, calendars, available rooms and employees working through the first sitting determine the real plan. Start with who can eat together and how later groups will be served.
Count participation by meal window
Record each department’s attendance, start and available break. Overlapping groups may share a serving point; widely separated groups may need a different handover. Avoid duplicate names across team submissions. One person should maintain the final list, confirm it with team contacts and receive subsequent calendar changes.
Plan an equally complete second sitting
Later employees should receive their planned selection rather than whatever the first group leaves. Allocate portions, packaging and handover to each window. A hot main with sides and a complete plant-based option provide a clear structure. Decide between separate deliveries and staffed service using the actual time gap and available equipment.
Keep meeting rooms and food storage distinct
Confirm when the lunch area is genuinely free. A delivery cannot simply occupy a table while its meeting continues. Assign a receiving location, prepared surface and returns point. Keep drinks from blocking food collection and allow for any room reset between groups. Hired containers need an accessible collection point afterwards.
Compare the work required for each sitting
Separate food, deliveries, staff time and equipment in the comparison. A food price does not tell you who replenishes between teams or clears dishes. State which tasks employees can take on and which need service. Agree one channel and a deadline for attendance changes so the total scope remains understandable.

Questions about this occasion
Is one headcount enough for several teams?
It starts the enquiry, but planning also needs attendance and menu choices per window. Department count alone does not determine the number of deliveries. Timing and the actual handover arrangements do.
Can every team order separately?
It may be possible but can create duplicate deliveries and conflicting information. A combined enquiry makes one occasion easier to coordinate. If separate cost centres matter, agree their handling in the quotation and invoicing rather than assuming it.
