What types of events do you cater?
We cater events of varying size, style, and occasion across the Bay Area! From mitzvahs to weddings, corporate launches to non-profit fundraisers, let us cater your next meeting or gathering.
We’ve streamlined everything into thoughtfully designed packages so you can order quickly and confidently. Our sales team is happy to answer questions and build a proposal based on what sounds good.
How to Order
Contact us to get the ball rolling on a catering proposal. Our team will be happy to answer questions and build package-based menus that your guests will love.
And for an even simpler experience, consider placing a self-guided online order. This option offers a simple and straightforward menu fulfillment, and we’re happy to provide a little guidance. Please note self-guided online-placed orders are presented on disposable platters and staffing is not provided.

Do you charge a service fee?
We include a production charge for most of our catering proposals. This charge includes delivery, set-up of food display, use of ceramic serving trays and chafing dishes as needed, and return for pick-up of service items after your event. This fee does not include gratuity.
Do you provide staffing for events?
Yes! We can provide staffing for your next event. We offer full service events, as well as drop off options for smaller get togethers. Whether you’re looking for a simple platter display or a slightly more upscale experience, our dedicated team members work hard to deliver a successful event that leaves your guests with a memorable experience.

Do you offer equipment rentals?
Tony Caters will be happy to arrange party rentals through one of our preferred providers. We will provide the appropriate equipment needed for your event.
What is your cancellation/reschedule policy?
We understand that sometimes things happen and an event needs to be adjusted. When the need arises, we work with each client individually to find a solution to any scheduling conflicts that may occur.
Do you have a food and beverage minimum?
There is a $2,000 food and beverage minimum spend for all events ($750 for orders placed through our online ordering platform), and we require on-site staffing for most of the more complex or larger events. While the staffing is included in the minimum spend, the minimum spend requirement does not include furniture/tableware rentals, taxes, or any other applicable fees. Alternative minimums may apply on holidays and in the month of December.
Do you offer tastings?
We offer tastings upon request at our main kitchen. Each tasting is by appointment only.
Do you provide bar service?
Absolutely! Please see our sister company, Smashing Dishes, for full service event planning with bar/alcohol services.
Placing/Changing/Canceling (online orders only)
The lead time to place an online order is 3 business days. Changes to existing orders are accepted up to 48 hours before delivery. Payment in full is required when booking an online order. 50% of the balance is refundable for cancellations between 5 and 10 business days of your event. No refund is offered for cancellations within 5 business days of your event.
Payment/Cancellation Policy (orders placed through a sales representative)
A signed contract and 50% retainer amount is required to secure your event. The remaining 50% balance is due no later than 4 days prior to your event. Accepted forms of payment include cash, check (cashier’s or corporate), ACH and major credit card.
Because we begin planning and securing resources as soon as your event is confirmed, cancellations may incur fees based on timing:
- After signing: 25% of your event total is non-refundable
- Within 30 days of your event: the full retainer is non-refundable
- Within 14 days of your event: the full balance is due
If you have questions or need to make changes, our team is always here to help—just reach out as early as possible and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
