You are in charge of research or marketing for a manufacturer, a restaurant chain or a distributor.

You want to conduct research to better understand your clients (consumers, independent professionals, chains, and distributors) and understand their practices, expectations and perception of your services or brands.

For example, you would like to:

  • Find insights that allow you to innovate and test products that you develop
  • Understand users or consumers habits and their motivations to purchase
  • Identify different profile types of professionals or consumers based on their shopping behaviour
  • Evaluate your chain or brand’s strengths and weaknesses compared to your competitors (offer or service satisfaction, image)
  • Size a market in order to identify development potential

We conduct customised qualitative and quantitative research for our clients, enabling them to solve operational or strategic problems for all targeted consumers and out-of-home consumption professionals.

Since 2005, we have been bringing them in-depth, reliable, and meticulous results with our extremely strong sector culture, adaptation of our research fields, and careful attention to developing experience and sampling plans.

Our clients can then decrypt this complex market, identify growth levers, and measure and prioritise expectations of consumers and professionals.

“In 2009, we wanted to better understand the purchasing logic of our food service clients. We conducted research over 2 years with Food Service Vision, which lead us to identify important targets for our products. This precise knowledge of our users, converted into training for sales personnel, enabled us to optimise client visits with a more operational approach.”

Pascal Schneider – Marketing Director, Euralis Gastronomie

“For the last 5 years, Food Service Vision has guided us on a 360° annual mission (annual indicator, ad hoc research, tracking tools, and establishing a template). Their perspective—and, even more so, their guidance on our strategic marketing—has enabled us to establish our vision and make the right decisions to turn our young chain into one of the key players on the market.”

Alexandre Maizoué – Managing Director, La Pataterie
