echnology has been a major driver of the foodservice equipment and supplies industry since its inception — from new ovens that offer faster cooking speeds to dishmachines that scrub plates clean at a fraction of the energy cost of previous models. Technological upgrades are a major reason foodservice operators invest in new equipment, but the technology that powers distributor and manufacturer operations has not always kept pace with the advancements happening in the equipment itself. Leaders in the industry are ready for that to change, which is why they continue to support the FEDA Data Portal project as it enters its third and most important phase of growth and functionality.
