Brick & Tin

What Brick & Tin does

Brick & Tin is a privately held farm-to-table American restaurant group operating four dine-in locations across Alabama: Mountain Brook, Downtown Birmingham, Cahaba Heights (Vestavia Hills), and Huntsville. The concept is built around local sourcing, with documented supplier relationships with five named farms and purveyors in Alabama and the Carolinas (Belle Meadow Farm, Boyd Harvest Farm, Petals From the Past, Snow's Bend Farm, and Joyce Farms Chicken), plus Eco-Products for sustainable packaging. Menu positioning emphasizes hormone-free, chemical-free, humanely raised ingredients and transparent farmer profiles hosted on the company website.

The business runs on standard restaurant SaaS infrastructure: ToastTab powers online ordering, catering, and gift card sales across all four locations, while SpotHopper provides the website platform, email marketing, and careers/party booking tools. Revenue is generated through four streams: on-premises dining, online carryout and delivery, catering for corporate and private events (24-hour notice required), and digital gift cards. Customer segments span local Alabama consumers and families as the primary audience, with secondary segments in corporate clients and event hosts. Marketing is concentrated in organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Yelp), the brand website, and an email newsletter.

Brick & Tin is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds. The company employs approximately 21 people across locations and operates with a horizontal segmentation strategy across consumer and event-driven use cases. No revenue, headcount growth metrics, M&A activity, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in available sources.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• True Food Kitchen: Seasonal, ingredient-forward full-service restaurant concept with a strong wellness and sustainability narrative. Closely comparable to Brick & Tin on farm-to-table positioning, transparency about sourcing, and full-service casual dining model.
• Sweetgreen: Public fast-casual chain built on mission-driven sourcing, ingredient transparency, and seasonal menus. Directly comparable ethos and operating model to Brick & Tin's farm-to-table positioning; differs in scale (national) and menu focus (salad-centric vs. Brick & Tin's broader American menu).
• Farm Burger: Multi-location farm-to-table burger restaurant group with grass-fed beef sourcing and transparent supply chain. Closely comparable ethos and ingredient-sourcing model to Brick & Tin; serves a narrower (burger-centric) menu.

Broad incumbents

• Chipotle Mexican Grill: National fast-casual chain with a long-standing "Food With Integrity" sourcing narrative and ingredient transparency. Operates at vastly greater scale; relevant as a benchmark for what scale-stage sourcing-driven concepts look like and how consumer expectations around provenance have evolved.
• First Watch: Large daytime-focused (breakfast, brunch, lunch) full-service chain with hundreds of locations. Comparable multi-unit operating model and daytime hours orientation (Brick & Tin's Downtown brunch menu mirrors this), though broader menu and no farm-to-table differentiation.
• Seasons 52: Darden-operated full-service restaurant built around seasonal, fresh-ingredient menus. Comparable focus on rotating seasonal offerings and fresh ingredient storytelling, but operates at national scale and within a corporate parent.
• Panera Bread: National fast-casual bakery-cafe chain with an ingredient-transparency and clean-label narrative (e.g., "No No List"). Comparable in multi-channel operations (dine-in, online ordering, catering) and consumer audience overlap, but vastly larger scale and broader menu positioning.

Regional players

• Café Patachou: Indiana-based farm-to-table restaurant group with multiple locations. Direct concept analog to Brick & Tin's farm-to-table sourcing and American menu, but operates in a different geography (Indianapolis) so does not compete head-to-head.
