A Legacy Reimagined

Powered by global contract catering and services leader, Elior Group, and part of the Elior North America collective of distinct hospitality companies, Elior School Dining emerged through rebranding in 2025 with a new name and refreshed vision and mission. Formerly known as K-12 by Elior, Elior School Dining’s identity echoes shared values and pride in Elior’s reputation as a global name in dining services.
