Catering to You in Silicon Valley
At Tony Caters, we love what we do. We know everyone says that but we actually mean it.
With San Jose as home, we cater to companies and individuals in the entire San Francisco Bay area.
Our goal is always to make your meeting or special event as easy as possible, both in planning and the actual party itself.
How do we do this? By treating you individually. Connecting with you as a person.
Which means we’re people too. Here’s more about us:

Catering Made Simple in Silicon Valley
At Tony Caters, we make catering easy—really easy.
We’ve streamlined everything into thoughtfully designed packages so you can order quickly and confidently, without the usual back-and-forth. From team lunches to celebrations, you get great food and a seamless experience every time.
Based in San Jose, we serve companies and individuals across the San Francisco Bay Area.
Our goal is simple: take the stress out of catering so you can focus on your event—not the logistics.
How do we do it?
By keeping things clear, consistent, and reliable. No complicated menus. No guesswork. Just proven packages that work.Behind it all is a dedicated team—sales, production, chefs, and service staff—working together to make your experience smooth from start to finish.
For more elevated, full-service events with staffing, rentals, and custom planning, our sister brand Smashing Dishes delivers that next level of hospitality.
Meet the Founder Tony Santos, Founder & CEO
Aside from fatherhood, Tony Caters is truly the great adventure of my life. Hospitality and event catering are my true passion. No day is the same as the one before, and successfully navigating the unexpected for our clients gives me a thrill and a sense of honor.
I’m a third-generation Silicon Valley native, born and raised in San Jose. After Santa Clara University and a career in tech PR, I made the leap in 2005 to culinary school and entrepreneurship.
That background helps me understand what our clients need most: simplicity, reliability, and results. Our goal is always the same—make you look great in front of your guests.
The best part? Hearing my son ask, “Daddy, are you the boss of your work?” Hopefully one day, he’ll understand what that really means.
Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering in my community, spending time with loved ones, and exploring Northern California.
