Human Factors
During engine start on maintenance ramp the catering truck returned and pulled up to the aircraft. I do not know if he pulled up during or after engine start. The Caterer came walking up to the side of the aircraft WITH BOTH ENGINES RUNNING to get my attention. I immediately shut down both engines. A total lack of communications while starting engines.
[Narrative 2 had no additional information]
B737 flight crew reported that after engine start ground personnel walked dangerously close to the running engines.
