Sharpen your recruiting and retention practices.
In this tough economy, it’s more important than ever to see how your organization compares to others in the industry.
The Wolf Survey is a result of detailed analysis of questionnaires completed by our foodservice food and beverage manufacturing participant companies, both public and privately held. As participation continues to grow, our competitive industry benchmarking becomes more valuable.
INTRODUCTION
Prior to the release of The Wolf Survey in 2005, the extended foodservice industry - a sector traditionally devoid of comparative compensation data - had limited statistical benchmarking studies available to measure and evaluate staff salaries and related compensation packages.
The Wolf Survey has since transformed this previously disparate information into an indispensable business tool to help foodservice professionals create and run the most competitive and efficient organizations possible.
The Wolf Survey: Your Single Source
As the single best assessment tool available for foodservice industry sales and marketing compensation and benefits data, The Wolf Survey utilizes only industry-specific data from top foodservice food and beverage manufacturers in its analyses.
The Wolf Survey Advantage: Apples-to-Apples Comparisons
As the premier foodservice industry benchmark study, The Wolf Survey will refine and enhance your employee recruiting and retention efforts in multiple ways by providing specific information, such as:
• Data for range of positions: Sales (19 positions from Operator Sales Rep to
Senior Vice President Sales) and Marketing (10 positions from Associate Marketing Manager to Senior Vice President of Marketing).
• Compensation data for every job title: includes salary, bonus, car program and
other compensation actuals and structure analysis for thousands of employees.

foodservice division size to give you peer company comparison.

unique practices and special section on the impact of the economy, merit increases, compensation review frequency, bonus payout frequency and more.
