Lieferdienste

Delivery services are ideal for smaller groups and more informal occasions, as they typically involve only the delivery of food without any additional services or staff. They are particularly well suited to short-notice orders for a small number of people and, by dispensing with extra services, incur lower costs.

Key features of delivery services

Delivery services often have no minimum order quantity and are therefore especially suitable for informal lunch breaks at the office. Their key features include:

• No minimum order quantity and thus great flexibility when ordering
• Individual customisation that takes special requirements such as allergies into account
• Cost savings by dispensing with additional services

However, additional equipment such as food trucks or mobile bars is not available.

Distinction from catering and party service

Within the delivery sector there are significant differences between catering, delivery service and party service. Catering is suitable for larger numbers of people and more formal occasions such as weddings and business events. In addition to delivering the food, it also includes furniture and decoration, often needs several days' lead time and offers individual menu compositions for special dietary needs as well as comprehensive experiences such as live-cooking events. Caterers advise on dishes, quantities, the type of catering and allergies. Delivery services, by contrast, usually deliver only the food and mainly offer basic advice. Some providers combine pure deliveries with all-inclusive catering packages.

Influence of the event size

The size of an event largely determines the choice of service. Caterers handle large quantities with ease and create a complete experience that goes beyond the food itself. Delivery services are particularly suitable for small, less formal occasions such as lunch breaks.
