Food & Drink Resources (FDR) is a chef-driven culinary consulting agency with an ideation and development process that follows a continuum:
Needs assessment > Idea generation > Competitive set > Commercialization > Brand growth
Ready For Market Food/Beverage Products
Through this process, we save restaurants anywhere from 25 to 50% on recipe development costs thanks to our onsite kitchens, team of R&D chefs, and our Preferred Vendor Network. Our network of manufacturers makes it possible to introduce ready-for-market products that will fit your brand and goals quickly.
Additionally, our recipe ideation and development services can include
- Menu development - Recipes are foundational, but your menus, including limited-time offers, offer real opportunities.
- Training – We will train your trainers. Can include operational manuals and ongoing support.
- Nutrition analysis – Includes analysis, labeling, recipe revisions, and ingredient substitutions to ensure dishes maintain flavor and meet established nutrition standards (Learn more about restaurant nutrition analysis here.)
- Kitchen and restaurant design - Kitchen and service area layout and design including the selection of equipment, fixtures, and furniture so that you can create and sell your innovative recipes.
