Foodservice Supplier - COVID Impact Study
AlixPartners and Wolf Search Solutions led a COVID-19 Business Impact Study for the foodservice supplier channel in late 2020. Given the unprecedented impacts caused by COVID-19, our goal was to uncover sector specific insights for our clients as they move towards the 'Next Normal.'
We conducted 1:1 interviews with 20+ foodservice supplier executives to glean perspective on current and future issues, concerns and initiatives. We covered topics such as long-term strategy and market focus, business operating models, workforce strategy and planning, as well as talent acquisition and strategy. In tandem, we conducted a survey with the foodservice supplier workforce with parallel questions on the selected topics.
While the data may be outdated today, the insights gleaned provides a benchmark for the how the industry is progressing each day.
