What Springbone Kitchen does

Springbone Kitchen is a fast-casual restaurant chain founded in 2016 in New York City by co-founders Sam Eckstein and Jordan Feldman. The company operates 13 active retail locations concentrated in Manhattan (Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Flatiron, Midtown East and West, FiDi, Greenwich Village, Brookfield Place), Brooklyn (Williamsburg, DUMBO), Millburn NJ, and Washington D.C. (Dupont Circle, Wisconsin Ave), plus a seasonal soup stand. The menu centers on nutrient-dense bowls, signature bone broths, soups, salads, and smoothies built around three production principles: 100% grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, and the exclusion of seed oils, refined sugar, and gluten. The underlying product methodology is a housemade bone broth preparation — grass-fed and free-range bones simmered with organic vegetables to produce collagen and mineral-rich broths — which functions as the brand's signature technology and product IP.

The company generates revenue through three streams: (1) retail restaurant sales across its physical locations via dine-in, takeout, and delivery; (2) corporate and event catering across all five NYC boroughs and northern New Jersey, operated through the CaterCow third-party platform; and (3) nationwide e-commerce shipping of packaged bone broth, hot sauce, granola, and frozen products through a Shopify storefront. Pricing is per-item unit pricing across all channels, with no subscription or contractual pricing disclosed. Direct-to-consumer digital ordering is delivered via ItsACheckmate, supported by native iOS and Android apps. The primary customer segment is health-conscious urban professionals seeking convenient, ingredient-transparent meals; corporate catering is a secondary segment. The company is privately held, structured as Springbone Holdings LLC, with no external institutional investment evidenced in available materials.
