Pilot R&D was founded by chefs who have built and run the research and development labs of some of the world's best restaurants
We are a small, collaborative team that practices culinary science, which blends our culinary background with food science expertise so that we can pair the innovative approach to making delicious food that exists in Michelin-starred restaurants with the food science knowledge necessary to optimize that food for its environment, be it packaged foodfood serviceQSR or fine dining.

Our Services

Who We Are

We are a Culinary Innovation and Product Development Company that works with brands across the food industry to drive food forward.

Product Development

We are product development experts who believe the job isn't done until product is coming off a line during a trial run. We start wherever you are—initial idea, early prototype, or existing product on the market—and end with a formulation optimized for your co-packer and a completed trial run.

 

We work on a bespoke basis and craft our scopes of work to meet your needs, so if you need a co-packer and initial ingredient suppliers, we can source them.

At the end of our projects, the final formulations are assigned to you, so you own your intellectual property and are ready for your first production run.
