Food Management’s Top 50 Contract Management Companies tabulates the 50 largest firms by 2019 revenue operating dining, catering and other food-related services for clients in fields ranging from schools, colleges, hospitals and senior living facilities to business and industry, sports and entertainment, corrections and parks/recreation. Each company is ranked by top-line North American revenues for fiscal or calendar year 2019, in millions of dollars. All figures are self-reported, unless noted with an (e), which connotes an FM estimate. Estimated numbers are derived from research and analysis, including published reports and previously submitted company data, when available.

Among those 50 companies are some whose results indicate a possible breakthrough to substantial future growth, either because of operational or technological advancements they’re recently implemented, or new territories or markets that they’ve entered with some initial success. Here are half a dozen of the Top 50 that may be on the brink of such success.
