TIndex (Technomic Index)
TIndex is the Technomic Index on the total U.S. foodservice industry, reported monthly.
TIndex starts out down in 2026
The January TIndex recorded a 114.8 level, which is a 1.5 point drop from December. Inclement weather in many parts of the country contributed to this weakening. Compared to January 2025, the updated TIndex represents a 2.5% nominal increase year over 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.
