MRM Update: Pilotworks’ Crash Landing

8 Min Watch By MRM Staff

Pilotworks, the nation’s largest on demand kitchen space, abruptly ceased operations on October 13. 

A message posted on its site reads, 

"It is with a heavy heart that after failing to raise the necessary capital to continue operations, Pilotworks will cease operations on October 13th, 2018. We realize the shock of this news and the disruption it causes for the independent food community we were so honored to serve. This is a sad outcome for Pilotworks, the makers in our kitchens, and independent food in general. We wish there was another option to continue operating. Sadly, there was not. The work the independent food community is doing is amazing and inspiring. We know it will live on and we are deeply sorry it will not be with Pilotworks."
