While some businesses are back in production after the Pilotworks shutdown, others haven’t found the right ingredients to stay afloat.
The year of 2019 was looking hopeful for Liz Santiso, co-founder of Brooklyn Biscuit Company. The business was on track to make $500,000 in revenue for the upcoming year and planned to use Pilotworks for one more year before moving into its own space.
Santiso’s traditional southern-style biscuits were made fresh daily at Pilotworks for about 30 wholesale accounts, including one with Dean & Deluca that began in 2016. Her biscuit operations ceased as of December 16, 2018. Santiso estimates needing about $75,000 to restart the business in a new space.
