Let’s address some of the reasons why food and drink manufacturers choose to work with third-party organizations, like Food & Drink Resources (FDR), to represent their products to restaurant brands. Our goal with this article is to show you how Food & Drink Resources can enhance your work…and grow your bottom line.

Save anywhere from 25 to 50% on development costs.

Cut time-to-market in half. The 3C Development Process™ is FDR’s proven approach to food and drink development that integrates consumers, chefs, and clients into immersive, real-time product development. Completed in one, 72-hour session at the Denver FDR Innovation Center, the process is efficient, but in no way lacks quality. You will complete months-worth of work in only three days.

Both full-service and single-serve consumer research support available.

FDR facilitates, hosts, and analyzes qualitative and quantitative consumer research including focus groups, sensory testing, comparison testing, central location testing (CLTs), and on-site/in-store interviews or customer intercept surveys. We believe consumer research is a critical piece to product development.

You can choose to work with us in all capacities or one. It’s up to you.

A test kitchen you want to spend time in.

The new, 10,000-square-foot FDR Innovation Center includes plenty of meeting space as well as a modular, fully-equipped test kitchen and bar. It’s spacious, clean, and has all you’ll need to for recipe development—including a team of expert chefs with decades of experience in manufacturing and sales.

FDR’s chefs will work with you to create white paper concepts, first-class ideations, and food and drink presentations.
