Continental began in 1989 as a small Detroit-based coffee and vending company. Through strategic management and acquisitions, it has grown to become Michigan’s largest independent food management firm and has been a member of Food Management's Top 50 Contract Dining Service Providers in the nation, for 10 years running.

But our goal remains the same as always: to create a consistently high-value dining and refreshment experience for every customer—whatever the venue.

Today, as a leader in the food service industry, Continental serves more than 650 clients spanning business, education, healthcare, government, and the nonprofit sector. In addition to customized dining and refreshment packages, we offer premier catering and banquet services, luxury yacht charters, and full-spectrum planning expertise for social and corporate events.
