TIndex (Technomic Index)

TIndex is the Technomic Index on the total U.S. foodservice industry, reported monthly.

TIndex slumps in February

The TIndex dropped in February to 109.6 from 112.0 in January. Numerous factors contributed to the dip, including:

Cautionary consumer spending due to tariff impact uncertainty
Inclement weather in many regions
One fewer day in the month vs. 2024

Compared to February 2024, the TIndex was down 3.9% in the same month this year.

About the TIndex:

Each index number corresponds to the same month in 2019. Therefore, as an example, the January 2021 index of 82.2 suggests that the industry is 17.8 percentage points smaller than is was in January 2019.

The index is based on a number of datasets available to Technomic including operator transaction, consumer visit tracking and distributor sales information. All data is weighted and evaluated to align with a representation of the total U.S. foodservice industry.

The TIndex is powered in part by Ignite Company, a robust online platform that allows our clients to understand historical foodservice data trends, prioritize accounts, track competitors and more. Learn more about Ignite Company
