The MINA Group Expands Partnership with Bilt to Connect Its Restaurants with Local Communities and Create New Guest Experiences

Through an expanded partnership powered by Bilt Neighborhood OS, The MINA 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

NEW YORK, NY — Nov. 10, 2026 — The MINA Group, the restaurant and hospitality company founded by award-winning Chef Michael Mina, today announced an expanded partnership with Bilt, the neighborhood commerce and rewards platform, to bring Bilt Neighborhood OS™, an AI operating system that helps businesses grow by reaching new customers and building loyalty through personalized experiences in their neighborhood, to participating restaurants across its portfolio. Building on their existing relationship, the expanded partnership will further connect MINA Group restaurants with the surrounding communities, creating new opportunities to reach guests and deliver personalized dining experiences.

The MINA Group has built its reputation on creating exceptional dining experiences that bring together culinary excellence, thoughtful service, and a strong sense of occasion. Through Bilt Neighborhood OS, The MINA 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.

Through the expanded partnership, participating MINA 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: Welcome residents who have just moved into the neighborhood, bring fans together around game day, or create personalized dining experiences for local professionals and hotel guests.

Beyond reaching new guests, the expanded partnership will help The MINA Group build stronger, lasting customer relationships by connecting Bilt Neighborhood OS with its 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 MINA Group, this could mean recognizing a guest who frequently dines at Bourbon Steak when they visit another participating MINA restaurant. The partnership is designed to make hospitality more personal while supporting restaurant teams through the systems they already use.

“Every restaurant we create has its own personality, but the commitment to exceptional hospitality is consistent across everything we do,” said Tyler Roberts, President & CFO, The MINA Group. “Building on our partnership with Bilt gives us new ways to understand and recognize our guests across different dining experiences, while connecting our restaurants with the communities around them. It’s about using technology to make hospitality feel even more personal, not less.”

“The challenge of operating exceptional restaurants across the country is that hospitality can’t become one-size-fits-all,” said Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Bilt. “MINA Group has built its reputation on creating restaurants with distinct identities and extraordinary attention to detail. By expanding our partnership through Bilt Neighborhood OS, we’re helping bring that same level of personal recognition to more guests across its portfolio, giving teams better ways to anticipate needs while preserving what makes each restaurant unique.”

Bilt’s inaugural State of the Neighborhood Study, conducted with 451 Research by 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.

The expanded partnership includes an initial rollout across seven MINA Group restaurants nationwide, including Bourbon Steak locations in two markets and Acqua Bistecca, with plans to expand to additional locations over time.

Together, The MINA Group and Bilt are building on their existing partnership to create 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.
