Catering Services

Here is how this works in practice. We supply catering services that feed cast and crew across Austrian shoots. Our caterers give hot meals, craft services and steady catering on set, handling breakfast, lunch and wrap, fitting dietary and allergy needs, and scaling from compact commercial units to large feature crews. We brief them on your headcount, schedule and locations, then confirm openings against your shoot dates.

Here is what we have to work with. Austrian caterers serve shoots in Vienna's studios, on city locations, and on alpine and lakeside shoots across Tyrol and the Salzkammergut. They work fluently in English and German. We contract under the Kollektivvertrag terms set by the Fachverband der Film- und Musikwirtschaft within the WKO. We set up the catering team with the line producer, location manager and first AD so meals fit the shooting schedule and the unit stays fed and on time through each day.

Here is the short of it. Austria gives film catering a cuisine of genuine global standing. Wiener Schnitzel, Tafelspitz, Apfelstrudel, Kaiserschmarrn and Sachertorte are recognised worldwide, and Vienna's coffee-house culture — inscribed on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2011 — sets a benchmark for hospitality that crews appreciate on a long shoot. Regional ingredients are plentiful: produce from the Wachau valley along the Danube, alpine cheeses and meats from Tyrol and Vorarlberg, and the wines of the Heuriger taverns around Vienna.

Here is the breakdown. Austrian caterers are used at serving units in demanding settings, from period shoots in central Vienna to alpine features near Innsbruck. The country's compact geography and strong road network make resupply straightforward. EU freedom of movement lets caterers source and staff easily across borders. Productions supported by the Oesterreichisches Filminstitut. The Filmfonds Wien rely on well-fed crews to sustain morale and pace.
