Relish Works, an innovation hub exploring and pioneering the future of the food industry, has launched Corner Booth Club, an NFT project sto connect independent Chicago restaurants with their local clientele by helping establishments unlock the power of Web3 through NFT drops created by local artists.
Corner Booth Club has partnered with Wicker Park's Mott Street and local artist Loc Hong to offer customers all day access to the elusive Mott Street burger, launched on July 6th. In addition, Won Kim of Bridgeport's Kimski will be dropping an NFT with Corner Booth Club mid-July.
Once partnered with an independent restaurant, Corner Booth Club converts the digital artwork created by a local artist into a utility NFT. The NFT then becomes redeemable for tangible products at the restaurant, allowing customers to access exclusive offers such as merchandise, menu items, event tickets, and more.
Mara Russo, Relish Works’ Director of Innovation, explains, “The restaurant industry is the ultimate labor of love. It is a tough, competitive business. Technology helps as a puzzle piece to support the restaurant industry and NFTs are the next frontier in how consumers participate in restaurant experience.”
Russo adds, “Relish Works believes independent restaurants and artists are the essential heart and soul of a neighborhood’s culture.”
“We’re excited to transcend the physical space and connect with our Chicago fans and beyond. Building community is at the core of Mott Street's values and sharing food and art through innovation is a natural collaboration,” says Vicki Kim, Restaurateur and Partner at Mott Street.
