Stanford Catering for Departments & Campus Events
Campus catering has its own rulebook — building access after hours, a loading zone three courtyards from the room, a purchase order that needs the right line items, and a symposium schedule that doesn’t bend. We’ve done enough of these to ask the right questions up front: which door, which contact, and how long the break actually is.

ReviewsFeedback from campus organizers
Comments from department coordinators and event organizers we’ve worked with.
"We were so pleased! I was serving 50 people and didn't have time to cook. The communication was exceptional and the food was great! Everyone was impressed."
"San Jose Catering Company did an outstanding job catering our corporate event. The food was fresh, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The staff were professional, attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish."
"The food was amazing. The staff was so helpful. They had time to help us clean up around the house with dirty dishes and glasses. I will see you again at my next event. Thank you."
