Brigaid is a food and beverage services company focused on transforming school meals by placing full-time, professionally trained chefs in school kitchens to cook meals from scratch. Its approach emphasizes real, carefully prepared food and the development of mentor-like relationships between chefs and students, aiming to build trust and positive attitudes toward eating. The model positions the company within the school food service market, offering a hands-on, chef-led alternative to traditional cafeteria programs that can influence students’ willingness to try new foods and engage in mealtime as a communal experience. Based in New London, Connecticut, Brigaid operates with a relatively small team and has pursued partnerships with school districts to expand scratch-made meal programs. Recent developments include collaborations with major health and school districts to broaden access to fresh, scratch-cooked meals for students, reflecting the company’s ongoing efforts to scale its chef-in-school concept across regional markets.
