German term or phrase: eingedeckt
Es werden ausschließlich kleine, verschlossene Flaschen samt Flaschenöffner eingedeckt.
Tassen werden grundsätzlich nur noch „upside down“ eingedeckt.

These are new COVID rules for an organization's catering services. Are they referring to setting the table? Availability? Any help is much appreciated.

set


Explanation:
I'm pretty sure this is referring to how the tables will be set, ie. what is to be placed on each table

The tables will be set with small, sealed bottles and bottle openers. Cups must be laid upside down.
