TIndex (Technomic Index)

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

April Tindex Inches Up

The TIndex increased for the second straight month, reaching 111.6. This is a 1.5 point increase from March’s figure. Some improvement is seen in full-service segments and in noncommercial.

Compared to April 2024, however, the TIndex shows an increase of only 1.4 points, which is reflective of sagging consumer confidence spurred on by tariff impact fears and economic uncertainty.

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
