Boka Restaurant Group Joins the Bilt Neighborhood to Connect Its Restaurants with Local Communities and Create New Guest Experiences

Through Bilt Neighborhood OS, Boka Restaurant Group will connect its restaurants to nearby residential communities, offices, hotels, and sports fans to reach new guests, unlock neighborhood spending power, and deliver personalized dining experiences

CHICAGO, IL — Nov. 10, 2026 — Boka Restaurant Group, a nationally acclaimed, Chicago-founded hospitality group known for its chef-driven restaurants and distinctive dining experiences, today announced a partnership with Bilt, the neighborhood membership and commerce platform, to bring its restaurants into the Bilt Neighborhood, connecting them to the communities where people live, work, stay, and gather.

Boka Restaurant Group has built its reputation on championing extraordinary chefs and creating restaurants with distinct culinary identities, inspired design, and genuine hospitality. From celebrated fine dining to lively neighborhood favorites, its concepts are individually crafted to reflect the people and places around them. Through Bilt Neighborhood OS™, an AI platform that helps businesses grow by reaching new customers and building loyalty through personalized experiences in their neighborhood, Boka Restaurant Group will build on that foundation by creating new ways to connect its restaurants with local residents, office workers, hotel guests, and sports fans, reaching new customers while delivering more personalized dining experiences.

By joining the Bilt Neighborhood, participating Boka Restaurant Group restaurants will be able to:

• Reach new guests through neighborhood channels: Connect with Bilt’s growing network spanning 1 in 4 U.S. apartment buildings and more than 50,000 merchant partners, creating new opportunities to reach residents, office workers, hotel guests, and sports fans throughout the neighborhood.

• Tap into neighborhood spending power: Bring incremental spending into participating restaurants by enabling eligible customers to use credits, rewards, and benefits made available through Bilt’s residential, office, hotel, and sports partners.

• Create experiences at the moments that matter: Introduce new residents to a neighborhood favorite, connect nearby professionals with memorable dining experiences, or help guests discover the right Boka restaurant for everything from a casual night out to a special celebration.

Beyond reaching new guests, the partnership will help Boka Restaurant Group build stronger, lasting customer relationships by connecting Bilt Neighborhood OS with Boka Restaurant Group’s existing restaurant systems. This will create new opportunities to recognize returning guests, deliver relevant benefits, and build loyalty that extends beyond any single visit.

Bilt’s AI agents work across participating businesses’ existing systems to help enable more seamless guest recognition, personalized offers, and connected hospitality experiences. For Boka Restaurant Group, this could mean introducing residents near Chicago’s West Loop to a meal at Girl & the Goat, or helping a returning guest at Boka feel recognized through a complimentary dessert. The partnership is designed to make hospitality more personal while supporting restaurant teams through the systems they already use.

“Bilt gives us a new way to bring distinct experiences to the people who live and work nearby. We’re excited by the opportunity to introduce more guests to our restaurants while giving our teams better ways to recognize them and make each visit feel personal,” said Kevin Boehm, co-founder and co-CEO of Boka Restaurant Group.

“Boka Restaurant Group has helped shape how America thinks about dining by giving remarkable chefs the freedom to create restaurants with identities all their own,” said Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Bilt. “We’re building the next growth engine for businesses like these: a direct connection to the neighborhood around every location. With Bilt Neighborhood OS, Boka can reach new guests through the places they live, work, and stay, then use AI to make the experience more personal when they walk through the door.”

The partnership is now live across 15 Boka Restaurant Group venues nationwide, including Boka, Girl & the Goat in Chicago and Los Angeles, Momotaro in Chicago and Nashville, Alla Vita in Chicago and Nashville, Swift & Sons, Duck Duck Goat, and other distinctive concepts across the portfolio.

Bilt’s inaugural State of the Neighborhood Study, conducted with 451 Research, part of S&P Global, found that two-thirds of U.S. consumers do at least 80% of their everyday spending within 15 miles of their home. Dining is a big part of that: at a median spend of $175 per month among respondents, it’s the second-highest everyday spending category after groceries, and it’s almost entirely in-person. The study also found that 95% of consumers say they would try a local business if they could earn rewards there.

Together, Boka Restaurant Group and Bilt are creating a more connected neighborhood dining experience, where restaurants can grow through the communities around them and guests can enjoy more value, recognition, and personalized hospitality.
