Palo Alto Catering for Offices, Homes & Venues

We cook and deliver across Palo Alto every week — Research Park suites off Page Mill, storefront teams on University and California Avenue, faculty gatherings near Embarcadero, and backyard dinners in Old Palo Alto and Barron Park. Order trays we set up and leave, add attendants to keep the line stocked, or book a full crew with chefs, servers, and bartenders.

Ways Palo Alto clients order

Getting food into Palo Alto on time

Palo Alto traffic and loading rules are the whole job here. We time arrivals around University Avenue curb windows, dock hours in Stanford Research Park, and garage clearance heights, and we carry certificates of insurance for buildings that ask for one before we roll a cart in.

  • Flat delivery rate to every Palo Alto address — no zone premium
  • Dock, freight elevator, and metered-curb load-ins handled by our drivers
  • COIs issued for office towers and managed properties on request
  • Weekday quotes usually back the same business day
