GOOD TO KNOW

### Your questions.
Clear answers.

The essentials for planning your catering.

[All questions & answers ](https://deltacatering.at/en/faq/)

**Can I choose my own catering menu?**

Delta Catering’s menu ideas can be the starting point for an individual selection. Begin with the format, flavours and dietary requirements you want. Seasonality, ingredients, portion sizes and feasibility are then agreed; the images and dishes are not fixed bookable packages.

**Should I choose a buffet, finger food or a plated menu?**

Choose according to the event: finger food suits standing conversations, a buffet offers choice, and a plated menu gives seated guests a shared rhythm. Seating, floor space and meal duration matter. A short reception and a full evening meal require different quantities.

[Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/inspiration/buffet-or-plated-menu/)

**Who offers vegan catering in Vienna?**

You can discuss a plant-based catering concept for Vienna with Delta Catering. The menu inspiration includes vegetables, pulses and vegan bites as starting points. A fully vegan selection requires checking every ingredient and accompaniment; allergies and potential cross-contact need a separate discussion.

[Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/vegan-catering-vienna/)

**Can catering accommodate allergies and intolerances?**

Dietary requirements need to be assessed before the menu is agreed. Specify affected ingredients and guest numbers, then discuss preparation, labelling and possible cross-contact. Delta Catering makes no blanket allergen-free promise. Vegan or vegetarian food is not automatically suitable for every allergy.

### A place. A different menu idea.

From mezze to an Alpine dinner: explore concrete selections for different occasions. Each can be a starting point for your own celebration.
