Adult beverage suppliers rated as top performing partners by leading chain restaurant and hotel beverage professionals were recognized as Technomic presented the 2014 VIBE Supplier Awards during the VIBE Conference in Las Vegas last week.
To insure efficient, fair and unbiased balloting and analysis, the VIBE Conference partnered with Technomic to conduct the voting via an online survey. Key beverage operators were invited to rate supplier companies on various attributes, using a score of 1-10 (1 being Extremely Poor and 10 being Extremely Good):
•Business-Building Support: Innovation, Creativity, Unique & Effective Ideas, Training Programs
•Service & Support Performance: Communication, Responsiveness, Understanding of Operator’s Needs and Service Levels
“The VIBE Supplier Awards program has grown in prestige and importance since its inception five years ago, and Technomic is proud to be involved,” said David Henkes, Technomic Vice President and leader of its adult beverage practice. “This program is unique in that it invites beverage operators to rate supplier companies on key attributes that contribute to their own growth and success. A VIBE Award is strong recognition of a company’s service levels since it comes from their customers.”
