We invite and urge you to participate in the Robert W. Baird quarterly Foodservice Equipment survey (Baird is a Milwaukee-based investment firm). As in earlier quarters, we will publish high-level results from the survey in an upcoming newsletter, and everyone who completes the survey will receive a comprehensive slide deck with detailed quantitative results/trends (the survey has been conducted since 2012) along with qualitative commentary from distributors, OEMs, service agents, etc., addressing the current issues in the industry (demand and revenue trends, supply chain constraints, tariff impacts on cost inflation/price increases, etc.).
Mig Dobre and Joe Grabowski from Baird are currently conducting the 3Q-26 survey. For a small investment of your time and insights, you get a ton of useful info back as they share their analysis and the data with those who participate. And I get something, too: access to the data to help inform our forecasts and provide content for the newsletters.
It’s easy—and confidential, of course. Respond by Oct. 9 to receive the executive summary and a slide deck summarizing current industry trends and expectations.
