Tired of keeping track of dozens of restaurant-related and trying to remember to redeem your rewards before they expire? Enter: Blackbird. A new loyalty program that aims to streamline + simplify booking reservations and earnings perks at your favorite spots to eat and drink.
The app is from Ben Leventhal, who is the co-founder of Eater and Resy. The app also helps you create a rapport with restaurants, offering that regular status + special offers the more you use it.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Who: Anyone can join — gain access to the program online or through your phone’s app store. Pro tip: You’ll need a mobile phone number for setup.
- Where: Use the app at ~50 Charleston-area restaurants, and several more in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco — the four locations where the app is currently available.
- Why: Check in at restaurants and start earning points and unlocking rewards. Think: last-minute tables, welcome drinks, and off-menu items.
Pro tip: The points you earn in Blackbird are called $FLY, and 100 $FLY are equal to $1.
