The Continental Café class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on March 30, 2026. The settlement covers all individuals affected by the Continental Café data breach, including anyone who received the company’s November 2024 data breach notice and is not party to an arbitration agreement implemented by Continental Café Holdings on March 14, 2019 and/or July 18, 2023.

Court documents state that private information of approximately 8,284 people was exposed during the data breach.

The court-approved website for the Continental Café data breach settlement can be found at ContinentalCafeDataIncident.com.

Continental Café settlement class members who file a valid, timely claim form can receive up to $700 for out-of-pocket losses incurred between October 18, 2024 and July 28, 2026 due to the data breach. Class members must submit proof, such as receipts or bank statements, to receive an out-of-pocket loss payment.

This benefit covers expenses stemming from fraud or identity theft and costs for professional fees, credit repair services, credit monitoring, freezing/unfreezing credit and miscellaneous expenses, such as notary and travel.

In lieu of an out-of-pocket loss payment, class members may instead file a claim form to receive a cash payment of up to $50, with no proof required.

In addition to either cash payment option, all settlement class members may file a claim to receive an enrollment code for three years of one-bureau credit monitoring and identity theft protection services.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the Continental Café Holdings data breach settlement following a hearing on August 18, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to consumers only after final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved.

The Continental Café Holdings class action lawsuit alleged that the food and beverage distributor, which serves Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect the information in its care, which led to a data breach discovered by the company on October 18, 2024.

Per court documents, private information exposed during the breach included full names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, financial information, driver’s license and passport numbers, Social Security numbers, health insurance information, medical records and Family Medical Leave Act information.
