In 2018,

Foodservice reported a net revenue of over
$6 billion
. As the company was a private entity, they did not report their profit or EBITDA margins.
However, according to

, the average EBITDA margin for the food and beverage industry in the US was about
9.56%.
Assuming that Reinhart

has a similar EBITDA, it's profits after taxes amounted to $573.6 million, which means that the EBITDA multiple for the deal was roughly 3.5 times ($2 billion / $573.6 million).
