Sage Hospitality Group is proud to bring Blackbird, an innovative guest loyalty platform, to Denver and Boulder—unlocking new ways for both guests and team members to be rewarded every time they walk through our doors.
Through Blackbird’s always-on points program, $FLY, guests earn rewards each time they dine at a participating restaurant and can redeem those points like cash across the Blackbird network. Already embraced in New York City, the Hamptons, Charleston, and San Francisco, the platform now debuts in Colorado with more than 50 restaurant partners, including many Sage Restaurant Concepts favorites.
In a first-of-its-kind approach, Blackbird also extends its rewards to hospitality professionals. Each time a team member checks in for work, they receive $FLY to enjoy at participating restaurants—a meaningful thank-you that turns their next night out into recognition for their dedication.
“Blackbird is connecting some of the most avid and loyal diners with the world’s best restaurants,” said Ben Leventhal, founder of Blackbird. “By using innovative technology to empower restaurants and reduce transaction costs, we’re melding old school hospitality with new school technology.”
Justin Fowler, COO at Sage Restaurant Concepts, sees the launch as a natural extension of Sage’s culture of belonging:
“Across our restaurants and bars, we believe Blackbird is a game-changer for building guest loyalty and cultivating a positive workplace atmosphere. Not only does Blackbird reward guests every time they join us, we get to reward our team members, too. Every time they check in at work, they’re rewarded with $FLY, so their post-shift meal or next night out is courtesy of Blackbird.”
With Blackbird, Sage is once again raising the bar on how technology can enhance authentic hospitality—strengthening guest relationships and creating memorable experiences for everyone who belongs at our tables.
