Keep up to date on the latest information in the foodservice industry, including a monthly collection of industry insights, data-driven articles, and top headlines.
Welcome to Kinetic12. We are a management consulting firm focused on two goals: to help food organizations transform their business and to foster improved collaboration between food industry partners.
As consultants dedicated to the foodservice, grocery, and convenience store industries, we work with manufacturers, distributors, operators, and retailers to pinpoint opportunities, optimize their sales & marketing strategies, better collaborate with strategic trading partners, and build actionable solutions that deliver real results. We partner with leading industry associations to build best practices & tools as well as assist private equity and technology companies looking to grow their businesses in the food industry.
Through our collaboration programs, we work as catalysts of business transformation by hosting nine operator-supplier collaboration forums each year and generating custom insight reports by tapping into our 200-member operator group. These forums create an environment for you to have better, more meaningful one-on-one conversations with some of the largest and most rapidly growing operators and suppliers in the industry. While our insight reports outline the key priorities and challenges most critical to both chain and C-store operators so you can tailor your business strategy to their needs, sell more effectively, and accelerate your sales performance.
Whether you are looking for personalized consulting, a partner in defining and executing your longer-range goals, or a forum environment to meet operators - we've got you covered.
We're here to tackle your biggest problems and provide actionable insights and solutions to accelerate your growth. Welcome to the kinetic energy of success—welcome to Kinetic12.
With years of experience working with all players in foodservice, our approach is detailed with a focus on execution. We understand what works in the food industry and will engage your team throughout implementation, enabling you to achieve results today that will carry into the future.
We host 9 forums throughout the year throughout the country focused on bringing operators and suppliers together to collaborate better and provide up-to-date insight reports on the top business issues and opportunities operators are facing today.
