Office catering in San Mateo, from downtown to Bay Meadows

San Mateo sits at the middle of the Peninsula, and its offices follow the Caltrain line. Downtown San Mateo holds the older floors around B Street and the station. Bay Meadows and Hillsdale add newer buildings beside the Hillsdale platform. Mariners Island and Bridgepointe run east toward the bay, where parking is easy and the lobby wants a name before it wants a box. Zerocater handles the headcount, the delivery window and the setup, so you plan the meeting instead of the meal.

Where we deliver in San Mateo

Zerocater covers the whole city. That includes downtown San Mateo around B Street, the newer offices at Bay Meadows, the buildings near Hillsdale, and the campuses on Mariners Island and around Bridgepointe. Highway 101 and Highway 92 cross here, so a driver can reach the downtown blocks and the bayside offices on a single route. Some caterers cook in San Mateo itself. Many more deliver in from nearby, which is why the list above runs longer than the restaurants you pass on the way to work.

Boxed or buffet in a San Mateo office

Boxed meals keep the count exact for a hybrid week, they travel well across a campus, and they need no chafing setup in a conference room. A buffet suits an all-hands or a customer event, where you want a spread and onsite staff. Filter the list above by format to see who offers which, or ask CaterAi for both and compare them side by side.

Weekly meals or a one-off event

If you feed the office every week, corporate catering puts San Mateo on a repeating schedule. For a launch, an offsite or a holiday party, start with event catering. New to Zerocater? See how it works, or browse every nearby catering city we serve.

I gain so much working with Zerocater to manage our San Francisco office meals and snacks. Instead of stressing about keeping the snack shelves full, now, I just see our Zerocater on-site specialist, say “hi” and walk back to my desk—it’s a life saver!

I like the flexibility ZeroCater offers where I can be heavily engaged in our meal program but I also have the freedom to step away with confidence knowing the meal program will continue to run with my account manager and 
onsite team.

Ever since we started working with Zerocater our lunch room is always full. That means our employees spend more time sharing ideas and building new products instead of dealing with the NYC lunch rush.
