The Wolf Survey is your single source – the only survey you’ll ever need for compensation and benefits data on the Foodservice industry. Unlike other compensation and benefit surveys, The Wolf Survey uses only Foodservice manufacturer data in our analysis.

The Wolf Survey is growing, evolving and improving. We continue to build upon our current participant team. This translates into even more extensive coverage of compensation and benefit practices specific to your peer group. 

The latest Survey includes a more extensive report on compensation and benefit practices. Through our annual Think Tank and regular conferencing with our participants, we have added data on reporting structures, long term incentives, comprehensive statistics relating to variable and long-term incentive plans and functional coverage on “unique” benefit practices
