RB Hospitality Group Expands Partnership with Bilt to Connect Its Restaurants with Local Communities and Create New Guest Experiences Through Bilt Neighborhood OS

New York City hospitality group to launch Bilt Neighborhood OS at Junoon, Jazba, and Room 207, building on existing capabilities to attract new guests, unlock neighborhood spending power, and create personalized dining experiences

NEW YORK, NY — Nov. 10, 2026 — RB Hospitality Group, the New York City hospitality company behind acclaimed Indian dining destinations Junoon and Jazba, as well as cocktail bar Room 207, today announced an expanded partnership with Bilt, the neighborhood commerce and rewards platform, to deepen its venues’ connections with new guests and the communities around them through the Bilt Neighborhood. Building on their existing relationship, the expanded partnership brings 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 all three locations, where Bilt Mobile Checkout is already live.

Founded by restaurateur Rajesh Bhardwaj, RB Hospitality Group has built its reputation on bringing the richness of Indian culinary traditions to New York through distinctive dining experiences and exceptional hospitality. From Junoon’s acclaimed contemporary Indian cuisine to Jazba’s celebration of India’s vibrant regional eateries and Room 207’s intimate speakeasy cocktail experience, the group has created destinations that bring people together through food, culture, and personal service. Through Bilt Neighborhood OS, RB Hospitality Group will build on that foundation by creating new ways to connect its venues with local residents, office workers, hotel guests, and sports fans, reaching new customers while delivering more personalized experiences.

Through the expanded partnership, participating RB Hospitality Group locations 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 venues by connecting with customers who have access to credits, rewards, and benefits through Bilt’s residential, office, hotel, and sports partners.

• Create more seamless and personalized guest experiences: Build on the existing Mobile Checkout experience at Junoon, Jazba, and Room 207, which allows guests to view and pay their checks directly from their phones, with Neighborhood OS introducing new opportunities for personalized benefits, guest recognition, and loyalty.

Beyond reaching new guests, the expanded partnership will help RB Hospitality Group build stronger, lasting customer relationships by connecting Bilt Neighborhood OS with its existing restaurant and hospitality operations. Bilt’s AI agents work across participating businesses’ existing systems to help enable more seamless guest recognition, personalized offers, and connected hospitality experiences without adding complexity for restaurant teams.

For RB Hospitality Group, this could mean introducing nearby residents to the regional Indian flavors of Jazba, welcoming guests to Junoon for a special occasion, or helping a returning customer discover a personalized experience at Room 207. The partnership is designed to make hospitality more personal while supporting teams through the systems they already use.

The partnership also builds on Bilt’s broader membership ecosystem, through which billions of credits from merchants help connect members with benefits and experiences at participating neighborhood businesses.

“Our goal has always been to create experiences that celebrate hospitality while giving each of our concepts its own distinct identity,” said Rajesh Bhardwaj, Founder and CEO of RB Hospitality Group. “Building on our partnership with Bilt gives us new ways to connect Junoon, Jazba, and Room 207 with the people who live, work, and spend time in the neighborhoods around them. With Mobile Checkout already in place and Neighborhood OS now launching across all three locations, we’re excited to create more seamless and personalized experiences while introducing new guests to everything our restaurants and bars have to offer.”

“Great restaurants have always been at the center of great neighborhoods,” said Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Bilt. “RB Hospitality Group has created some incredible New York dining experiences, from the celebrated Indian cuisine at Junoon and Jazba to the intimate cocktail experience at Room 207. By expanding our partnership through Bilt Neighborhood OS, we’re helping connect these destinations with more of the people who live, work, and spend nearby, creating new opportunities to reach guests, unlock neighborhood spending power, and make hospitality even more personal.”

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 is launching Bilt Neighborhood OS at Junoon, Jazba, and Room 207 in New York City, building on the existing Mobile Checkout experience at all three locations.

Together, RB Hospitality Group and Bilt are building on their existing partnership to create a more connected neighborhood hospitality experience, where restaurants and bars can reach new guests, strengthen loyalty, and make everyday dining and entertainment more personal and rewarding.
