Field sales and culinary support for foodservice and retail fresh food brands
Affinity Group operates a field-facing sales and merchandising agency for foodservice and retail fresh food, with 108 active sales roles across North America—a hiring velocity that signals aggressive expansion in field coverage. The stack is intentionally lean (Excel, Power BI, CRM, POS) and optimized for on-site execution; pain points around commission reconciliation and sales-technology adoption suggest the organization is scaling operations faster than internal systems. Projects cluster around trimester planning cycles, chain-restaurant account strategies, and culinary go-to-market support, indicating a structured, repeatable engagement model.
