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

Through Bilt Neighborhood OS, VCR Hospitality 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 — VCR Hospitality Group, a New York-based hospitality group behind a collection of distinctive restaurant and dining concepts and membership club, including Little Maven, Flyfish Club, Capon’s Chophouse, ITO Omakase, and Capon’s Burgers, 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. VCR Hospitality group has additional concepts in development, including planned openings in Miami and the New York City area in the near future.

VCR Hospitality Group has built its business around bringing a fresh perspective to dining through inventive concepts and thoughtful service. Through Bilt Neighborhood OS™, an AI platform that helps businesses grow by reaching new customers and building loyalty through personalized experiences in their neighborhood, VCR Hospitality 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 VCR Hospitality 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 partnership will help VCR Hospitality Group build stronger, lasting customer relationships by connecting Bilt Neighborhood OS with VCR Hospitality 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 VCR Hospitality Group, this could mean giving valued guests access to sought-after membership access at Flyfish Club, or introducing nearby residents to Little Maven through an exclusive neighborhood dining experience. The partnership is designed to make hospitality more personal while supporting restaurant teams through the systems they already use.

“We’ve always believed that great hospitality comes down to how you make people feel, and that every guest experience is an opportunity to build a lasting relationship,” said David Rodolitz, Founder & CEO of VCR Hospitality Group. “Partnering with Bilt allows us to connect with new guests across the neighborhoods surrounding our restaurants, while giving our teams more ways to recognize and take care of the people who already dine with us. It’s an exciting opportunity to grow our business without losing the personal touch that defines great hospitality.”

“The best hospitality feels effortless to the guest, but delivering that level of personalization takes an incredible amount of work behind the scenes,” said Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Bilt. “VCR Hospitality Group understands the importance of creating memorable experiences across very different restaurant concepts. With Bilt Neighborhood OS, we’re bringing AI into the equation to help teams recognize guests, anticipate preferences, and deliver more personalized service without adding more work to their plates.”

The partnership has begun rolling out at Little Maven and Flyfish Club in New York City, and Capon’s Chophouse in New Jersey, with plans to expand to additional VCR Hospitality Group concepts over time.

Together, VCR Hospitality 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.
