PILOT PRODUCTION & TEST KITCHEN RENTALS
The most innovative and satisfying new products hitting store shelves often originate in R&D or test kitchens. Crucial to developing new products, flavors, menu items and manufacturing processes, most food companies must either rent or build out their own test kitchen to support their research and development. These R&D and test kitchens are a key component to meeting the public’s ever-developing palate for new and delicious food by providing space to invent and innovate ideas and flavors.
WHAT IS AN R&D OR PILOT PRODUCTION KITCHEN?
RENTING AN R&D KITCHEN GIVES CULINARY PROFESSIONALS THE ROOM AND RESOURCES TO DEVELOP AND PROTOTYPE NEW RECIPES, TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT INCURRING THE COSTS OF HAVING TO REDIRECT SPACE FROM THEIR PRIMARY KITCHEN/PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.
Amped Kitchens offers the kind of R&D and test kitchen spaces that help you develop the new ideas and flavors to support and build your consumer brand or restaurants offerings.
And once a new product SKU or flavor innovation has been developed in an R&D kitchen, food makers will often look to a pilot production environment to help them identify the issues in moving production from the benchtop to production at scale. Pilot production enables food makers to hone the formulas, processes, and products developed in their test kitchen in order to identify and address the challenges that arise in moving to large-scale production.
In a pilot production space companies can also test new equipment and production methods on a more limited, controlled basis before going live in the factory environment. Pilot production gives food makers an early look into the challenges that need to be addressed in order to safely and cost effectively scale their new products and processes.
Amped Kitchens’ production spaces are perfectly suited to the requirements of both R&D and Pilot production offering a wide variety of flexible spaces. All of our test kitchen and pilot production spaces come with key infrastructure and finishes in place, ready for you to set up your equipment and production environment. Amped Kitchens has also been designed to help food makers meet the requirements of third-party auditors as well as other industry groups and regulators like FDA USDA, Kosher, HACCP, Allergen free and other industry certifiers.
