U.S. E&S Buyer, Specification &
Distribution Channels
• The paths and influences in operator E&S buying,
specifying and logistics decisions are multi-faceted.
• The “normal” path is OEM manufacturer to independent
multi-line sales rep to dealer to operator.
• Big institutional operators usually also employ an
independent design or concept consultant.
• Many chain and big institutional operators generally
follow these “normal” paths and channels.
• But there are also many side paths, “direct” relationships
and other outside influences.

Chain Functions That Evaluate
E&S Suppliers
• No matter the size or structure of a chain, multiple
functions have some input into selecting suppliers.
• Almost always, operations management have
significant input as do senior execs and culinary.
• But when it comes to the most say in supplier choice,
senior execs are key, especially in smaller chains.
• About one in five respondents name purchasing or
operation management as the key “chooser.”
• In larger chains, R&D personnel, both equipment
engineers and culinary are named more often, along
with other specialist titles.

Criteria Influencing Chain Buyers
Choice of E&S Products/Suppliers
• Many different criteria are involved in chain buyers E&S
product and supplier choices.
• Labor savings, ease of use, energy efficiency, both initial and
lifecycle cost, speed and previous experience with the supplier
are all named by more than 50% of buyers.
• But the most critical criteria is clearly the product’s and
supplier’s impact on food and menu product quality.
• Ease of use, initial cost and labor savings are the next most
commonly mentioned criteria.
• Unique technology, water savings and availability are cited by
the fewest respondents as important.

Operator Capital Expenditure Outlook

• Operator spending on equipment and supplies is quite


healthy despite tough winter.
• Many older chains continue to spend for renovation
and replacement, younger chains adding units.
• Three years of positive sales have helped smaller and
independent operators spend for E&S, too.
• Spec markets are finally beginning to spend again
after nearly five-year lull.
• Operators surveyed by NRA are quite optimistic
about sales and business conditions six months out.

Foodservice Equipment Reports ©2014

Operator Capital Expenditure Outlook

• Harsh winter appears to have dampened operators’ sales


more than their capital spending.
• Pent-up demand for E&S among operators remains high.
• In May RPI, 62% planned a capital purchase in the next
six months matching levels not seen since 07.
• Credit and cash-flow/capital formation are normal.
• However, margin squeeze from rising food and labor
costs are worrisome.
• Publicly funded segments seeing improvement in
availability of capital for facilities projects.

Market Forecast

Foodservice Equipment Reports ©2014


E&S Market & Forecast Overview
• The foodservice equipment and supplies market is in the
fifth year of recovery from the recession.
• The growth of the E&S market has been quite remarkable
given that operator sales growth has been moderate.
• Recovery began 2Q/10 (public companies) to 4Q/10
(MAFSI Business Barometer, reflecting broader market.)
• 2011 was a strong bounce-back year for E&S.
• The market’s rate of growth slowed beginning 2Q/12
through 1Q/2013.
• Then, the remainder of last year, growth accelerated. 2013
turned out to be a surprisingly good year.

The E&S Market—2013
• Very slow 1Q/13 fooled us as we forecast last year.
• The payroll tax increase and an unusual winter run-up in
gasoline prices hurt operators first half of year.
• But then the E&S market, in spite of sluggish operator sales
and traffic, really took off.
• MAFSI Barometer 2Q hit post-recession high, up 6.1%.
• MAFSI Barometer average for 2013 was gain of 4.5%.
• Public companies showed similar pattern with bounce back
2Q to 4.1% growth and great 4Q 8.4% gain.
• In March this year, we boosted our 13 estimate to 4.5%
nominal gain, 2.4% real, up more than a point.

FER E&S Forecast—2014
• E&S sales slowed in the first half in the broad market, but
big public equipment companies are doing well.
• Rest of the year looks very good; MAFSI reps forecast
5.7% 3Q growth; still forecast 4.9% for year, a record.
• All the basic macroeconomic factors are looking as good
as they have since the recession, especially jobs growth.
• The spec markets, a third to 40% of total E&S market, are
recovering with many projects on line.
• MAFSI quotation, consultant activity numbers very good.
• Operator food and labor cost run-ups are a worry.
• Given all this, we took our original 2014 forecast up.

The FER E&S Forecast—2015
Final Thoughts
• 2015 could well be the peak of the current cycle.
• Stronger operator environment should combine with
rebound of the spec markets to boost growth.
• Mature U.S. market will remain driven by the four “R”s:
renovation, replacement, (menu) roll-outs and repair.
• There are hundreds of thousand of existing units and
facilities that need constant renovation and re-equipping.
• U.S. chain brands (and their suppliers) are dominant in
the global race and they are building units like crazy.
• International growth is in part why U.S. E&S market
growth exceeds core U.S. operator growth.
