Our Benchmark Indexing System

Our Benchmark Indexing system is a crucial component of our food safety benchmarking methodology. It provides a standardized way to compare individual restaurant brands against the industry average for each of our key metrics: Reports per 100 Stores, Reports per $1M Revenue, and Persons Reported Sick per 100k Customers Served.

To create these benchmark indexes, we follow a structured process that ensures accurate and meaningful comparisons across brands. This section explains how we develop these indexes and what it means for a brand to be above, at, or below the index.
