Samples & Prep

Order Your Products to Sample from Dot

Innovations exhibitors will need to order samples of their products through the Dot Foods Shop website. If you don’t have a Shop account, sign up here.

Sample orders and purchases for eaches, equipment and supplies, or products from other suppliers must still be placed through our sample order form. The order form will be available soon.

Start placing sample orders on February 16. All sample orders are due March 12.

Serving Samples at the Show

All food and beverage exhibitors are required to fill out Levy’s form and waiver by March 30 to provide details about your samples. The form will be available soon.

Since Innovations is a private show, a temporary health permit is not required for exhibitors. 

For questions concerning sampling, please contact Destiny Witherspoon from Levy at Dwitherspoon@levyrestaurants.com. 

Cooking Requirements & Oil Disposal

We are requesting all exhibitors cooking in their booth to have one ten-pound B.C. extinguisher ready in their space. Oil disposal will be available on the loading dock provided by Filta. 

Ice and Levy’s Food Service Pantry

Ice and other pantry items will be available for purchase on the show floor from Levy’s pantry. More information will be available soon.

Order Serveware from Dot

We will have a limited list of equipment and supplies available for purchase through Dot using our sample order form. Details, pricing, order deadline, and form will be available soon.

Receiving Samples from Dot on Site

Sample products ordered through Dot are delivered to your booth by Heritage Convention Services. Material handling charges apply to all sample deliveries.

All dry products ordered directly from Dot Foods will be at your booth when you arrive at Innovations. 

To receive any temperature controlled product, you will need to schedule a delivery. To schedule a delivery, you must submit the Sample Delivery Form to Heritage. Look for this in the Exhibitor Kit, available soon.

You can also make an appointment at the Heritage Exhibitor Services desk on site to have temperature controlled product delivered to your booth.

Exhibitors who wait to make appointments on the show site may have to wait up to an hour for their product to be delivered to their booth. 

For more info, see Shipments to Show.

Dishwashing

On the show floor, Dot provides four dish washing stations with supplies and hot water. These are located on the outside of the show floor in the exhibit hall.
