How to Build a High-Performing Partnership with Your Tech Vendors + Operators

Most manufacturers start the year with new AI tools, new vendors, and big expectations. But the real difference between success and frustration comes down to how you manage the relationship - not the technology itself.

In this session, Sam Newman from Tastewise breaks down the practical steps that foodservice manufacturers can take in the first 30–90 days of working with an AI partner. You’ll learn how to set clear expectations, align AI outputs with operator needs, and build a workflow that actually speeds up your teams instead of slowing them down.

This session covers:
  1. What to ask your AI vendor in the first two weeks (and what red flags to look for)
  2. How to integrate AI across sales, marketing, and R&D without overwhelming the organization
  3. How to involve operators early so insights, menus, and product recommendations land successfully
  4. How to build internal accountability so your AI investment becomes part of everyday work, not a side project
  5. Common points where AI rollouts stall, and how leading manufacturers avoid them

You’ll walk away with a clear checklist for optimizing your AI partnership and speeding up execution across your teams and operator relationships, starting on day one.
