Welcome!
Since 1997, Caterman Catering has been the trusted name in event catering across San Francisco and the Bay Area. We've grown from intimate private event catering to large-scale corporate catering for companies like Apple, Netflix, and Stanford. Every menu we build is designed around your event, not the other way around. We handle the timing, the staffing, and the dietary accommodations so you can focus on your guests, not the food.

How We Work
Every corporate catering engagement and private event we handle in the Bay Area starts with your specific needs. Your schedule, headcount, and venue shape the plan from day one. Timelines, logistics, and costs are agreed upfront so there are never any surprises. Every dietary requirement and allergy is logged, communicated directly to the kitchen, and managed carefully across every dish. On the day itself, you get an experienced team that has been briefed on your event specifically, not a generic crew showing up to figure it out.
Custom Planning Based on Your Schedule and Headcount
Your schedule, headcount, and venue shape every detail of the plan.
Clear Communication and Reliable Timelines
You get a clear timeline, updates at every stage, and no surprises.
Dietary Requirements Handled Carefully
Every allergy and dietary need tracked and handled across your menu.
Experienced Staff and On-Site Coordination Provided
Our trained staff run service start to finish so you can focus on your guests.
We plan carefully to reduce food waste
Sustainability is part of how we operate, not a marketing label.
More than 80% of what we serve is made from scratch in our San Jose kitchen. Sauces, desserts, and core components are all prepared in-house rather than opened from a can. We source seasonally from Bay Area suppliers and plan portions carefully to minimise waste. Any surplus is donated responsibly rather than discarded. This approach shapes every menu we write and every event we close out. The result is food that tastes better, waste that stays minimal, and a standard we hold ourselves to whether we are catering a private dinner or a 500-person corporate event.
Who We Work With
We serve a diverse range of organizations, from corporate offices and tech companies to production teams and government entities. Our experience extends to property management groups, real estate firms, and agencies that require consistent, professional food service. Whether the engagement is ongoing or event-based, we adapt to varying operational cultures and expectations while maintaining a high standard of service.
