Benchmark Study Announcement: The State of Sous Vide
Stampede Culinary Partners is proud to announce the publication of the largest research project to date on the state of commercial sous vide. This groundbreaking new benchmark study, the first report of its kind, included a survey of over 1,000 individuals in the restaurant, retail, healthcare, hospitality, and entertainment industries. Survey participants were limited to purchasing decision-makers in their companies (one quarter of these were executives), and companies represented included multiple multi-billion dollar companies, Fortune 500 companies, and household name brands such as CAVA, Chipotle, Costco, Yum!, Target, 7-Eleven, Hyatt, Universal, Kraft Heinz, and others.

Stampede Culinary Partners is North America’s leader in value-added, sous vide solutions, and this annual benchmark study further demonstrates Stampede’s dedication to innovative and delicious sous vide solutions. The data in this report indicates the many ways that companies are experiencing and benefitting from the importance of sous vide.
“You’re going to see sous vide products–especially meat and other proteins–explode as Restaurant and Retail operators continue to look for ways to simplify and optimize labor because it takes so much of the guesswork out of the equation,” said a Senior Food Scientist, R&D Lead from the study.
Sous vide is a proven $15 billion market, and it provides the perfect solution to many of the country’s biggest challenges today, especially labor shortage. The top reasons listed by survey participants for shifting more to sous vide products were to combat ongoing staffing shortages and labor costs; to improve overall food quality, consistency, and taste; and to increase operational efficiency and profitability. The commercial food service shift to increased choice of sous vide has certainly already begun: 70% of those who already purchased sous vide products have “significantly increased” their purchase volume since 2020.
