Blackbird and OS BENEFiTS are teaming up to give Blackbird restaurant partners free access to real, meaningful benefits — wellness tools, mental health support, and affordable health insurance — all built specifically for the hospitality industry. This is support that understands how restaurants actually work: variable hours and teams that deserve a whole lot more than they’ve historically been offered.
Benefits built for the people behind great restaurants.
Blackbird Partner Restaurants now have access to hospitality-specific benefits: on us, through the end of 2026.

The Need Is Real
Hospitality is one of the most essential industries in the world. Yet, 67% of our teams don’t have access to healthcare and benefits.
OS BENEFiTS was built to change that. We exist for the cooks, the servers, the operators, and the teams who show up every day and make it all happen. Benefits built for and by the hospitality industry: designed around the way restaurants actually work.
