You can discuss finger food, a buffet or a plated menu. Availability and scope are assessed using your guest count, venue address and schedule. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/catering/) **What does catering include?** Catering supplies food for an event; delivery, drinks, tableware and service may be added. These are not automatically included in every price. The quote should specify who handles food, transport, setup, serving and collection. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/catering/) **Can I enquire about catering outside Vienna?** Yes. Delta Catering plans events from Vienna in other Austrian provinces too. The exact address, travel, transport conditions and service hours determine feasibility. A regional page describes a service area, not a local branch; availability is confirmed for your date. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/catering-austria/) **Who can arrange catering for a company party, wedding or birthday?** Delta Catering develops catering concepts for all three occasions. A company event centres on breaks and conversation, a wedding on the day’s schedule, and a birthday on sharing a meal. Discuss the menu, headcount and required service as one coordinated plan. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/catering/) **Can catering be delivered to my home?** Home delivery can be planned with Delta Catering around your address and date. Agree the handover, serving space, refrigeration or hot holding, and later equipment collection. Food delivery and catering with on-site service are different scopes and should be specified separately.

Total cost combines food, drinks, staffing, equipment and logistics. Divide the complete quote by the number of guests to obtain a comparable per-person figure. Check VAT, transport and agreed service hours as well. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/catering-prices-costs/) **What does catering for 50 people cost in total?** Headcount alone is not enough for a reliable price. For 50 guests, first define the menu, drinks, venue and service, then combine fixed and variable costs. Delta Catering does not publish a fixed package for this group size. Compare quotes for the same guest count and scope. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/catering-prices-costs/) **How can I keep catering costs down?** Choose a coherent menu with a focused selection and use existing tableware or furniture where practical. Fewer variations simplify preparation and serving. Shorter service hours or another format may help too; staffing and equipment mean a buffet is not automatically cheaper. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/catering-prices-costs/) **How do I compare catering quotes properly?** A clear quote lists food, quantities, guest count, staff hours, equipment, delivery and total price. Also ask when the headcount becomes final and how changes are charged. Example menus and attractive photographs do not replace an itemised scope. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/catering-prices-costs/) **Can I arrange catering for just 20 people?** You can plan an enquiry for 20 people; Delta Catering has not yet confirmed a minimum order or guaranteed availability. For smaller groups, transport, setup and staffing account for more of the cost per guest. Specify whether you need food only or on-site service as well.

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. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/cuisine/) **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/) **Can finger food be a complete meal at a party?** Yes, if it is planned as a meal. Include substantial dishes and enough portions across the evening, rather than only aperitif bites. Vegetables, pulses or grains can be combined with other suitable dishes and dessert. Agree the menu and quantities for your occasion. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/finger-food-catering-vienna/) **How many finger-food pieces do I need per person?** The number depends on portion size, how substantial the bites are, event duration and other meals. First specify whether finger food accompanies a reception or replaces dinner. The caterer should use this to calculate quantities and serving rounds and state them in the proposal. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/inspiration/planning-finger-food/) **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. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/enquiry/) **Should I choose a hot or cold buffet for my event?** A cold buffet can simplify serving but still needs appropriate refrigeration and timing. Hot dishes require hot holding, often power and supervision. Choose according to duration, space and equipment; both can be combined into one meal. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/buffet-catering/) **What is a flying buffet, and do guests need seats?** A flying buffet brings small dishes to guests in several rounds. A fixed seat for every guest is not essential, but seating for anyone who needs it remains important. Easy-to-handle portions, clear circulation routes and an agreed serving schedule are key. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/flying-buffet-catering/) **Which desserts work well for catering?** Individual desserts in glasses, small tarts and cake portions can work with a buffet or table service. Choose different flavours and account for refrigeration. If a separate celebration cake is planned, adjust dessert quantities accordingly.

Easy-to-serve food suits a short session; a working day needs a complete lunch break. The address, floor, break times and tableware requirements determine the delivery plan. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/office-catering-vienna/) **What catering works for a company party?** A reception or flying buffet can suit networking, while a buffet or seated dinner works for a shared evening. Consider whether guests arrive together or in stages. Delta Catering starts with the programme and meal times, then develops the menu and service scope. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/corporate-catering/) **What catering suits a conference or exhibition?** Conference food needs to fit scheduled breaks; exhibition stands depend on quick serving and limited space. Plan coffee, water and meals separately against the programme. Access passes, delivery windows and venue rules must be agreed before confirmation. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/conference-exhibition-catering/) **Who provides wedding catering in and around Vienna?** Delta Catering plans wedding catering from Vienna, with availability assessed for the venue and date. Planning covers the reception, main meal, dessert and, if required, a late snack. Coordinate these stages with the ceremony, speeches, photographs and venue facilities. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/wedding-catering/) **What catering works for a Christmas party?** A warm buffet, shared dinner or several small serving rounds can suit a Christmas party. Include a substantial plant-based option and coordinate speeches with food service. Delta Catering develops the selection around the guest count, venue and schedule.

Delta Catering does not currently promise a fixed lead time or next-day delivery. Enquire once you know the date and approximate guest count, allowing more planning time for weddings or complex setups. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/enquiry/) **What information does a caterer need for a quote?** Provide the date, exact address, guest count, occasion, serving time, preferred format and budget. Add drinks, service requirements and dietary needs. Kitchen facilities, lifts, delivery access and existing equipment help establish the actual work involved. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/enquiry/) **Does catering include tableware and serving staff?** Not automatically. Delta Catering plans staff, plates, cutlery, glasses, setup and breakdown as separate items. Identify what the venue already supplies and who handles return and cleaning. The agreed written scope determines what is included. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/catering-service-equipment/) **Can I have catering at a venue without a kitchen?** It may be possible with a suitable menu and equipment plan. Even without a kitchen, food may require refrigeration, hot holding, power, water and preparation surfaces. Describe the available facilities first so an appropriate concept can be confirmed. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/catering-service-equipment/) **How can I plan catering more sustainably?** Reliable guest numbers, a focused menu, plant-based dishes and coordinated reusable tableware are useful starting points. Agree portion sizes, replenishment and leftover handling in advance. Delta Catering does not currently claim organic certification or blanket carbon neutrality. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/thoughtful-catering-planning/) **How do I send a catering enquiry?** Share your occasion, guest count, venue, menu wishes and email address in the contact form. When sending is available, the enquiry is forwarded to office@deltacatering.at; a visible confirmation indicates successful submission. If the form is unavailable or shows an error, email that address directly. An enquiry does not confirm availability or make a booking. [Explore this topic ](https://deltacatering.at/en/enquiry/)
