Check out the latest episode of The Simmer, where Brandon and Kristen sat down with Ben Leventhal, the mind behind Eater and Resy. Now he’s onto his next chapter: Blackbird, a loyalty and payments platform built specifically for the restaurant industry.
They get into:
- How restaurant loyalty is evolving (and why most programs still get it wrong)
- The so-called “reservations wars” and what they mean for operators
- Some genuinely great restaurant recommendations
Ben has shaped how we discover, book, and experience restaurants more than almost anyone. This conversation does not disappoint.
