About

Blackbird’s Secret Substack is Blackbird Labs’…lab. Think of this as a space where we’ll publish key industry insights, stress test hospitality theories, and generally take the longview toward restaurant reconnaissance and the future of dining out. Our stories will come in many written forms, from topical think pieces to long-form features and profiles, insider interviews to personal essays, and be penned by various members of our team and interesting folks we respect from further afield. We do hope you follow along.

Blackbird is a loyalty, membership, and payment platform whose dedicated team is focused on building the next great restaurant thrill ride.
