The team working with cacao in the field.

We're a team of chefs and digital marketers. We develop menus and food products with the methods of the leading food R&D hubs where we trained, and launch them with the playbook of the multi-million e-commerce brands we run. Fixed price, measured in your own numbers.

Our method.

The Double Diamond, adapted to the kitchen, with elBulliFoundation's Sapiens research behind every decision.

DiscoverDefineDevelopDeliverA wider curiosityFrom insight to ingredientsIdeas into real dishesIteration in the kitchen
  1. Discover

    Sapiens research: people, cultures and ingredients, classified and compared.

  2. Define

    Turn the findings into one clear opportunity and a baseline we both sign.

  3. Develop

    Create, test and refine. Many versions first, then fewer. Every one costed.

  4. Deliver

    Spec sheets, pilot, training and launch. Measured in your own numbers.

If it can't be repeated, taught and delivered to a consistent standard, it isn't finished.

Double Diamond for the kitchen, Sapiens research behind it.
