Dorsia Goes Courtside with the Miami Heat

Dorsia just got the best table in Miami. It’s on the hardwood.

The Miami born, members based technology platform signed a five year deal with the Miami HEAT to become the team’s Official Hospitality Technology Partner and open The Dorsia Club at Kaseya Center. It’s the arena’s most exclusive lounge, open only to courtside ticket holders. Levy Restaurants runs it with Michelin starred chef Jeremy Ford, and Dorsia brings in guest chefs to cook special menus at select home games.

The food is good. The access is the real story. Eligible Dorsia members can now buy courtside seats and suites through the app. Some bookings come with pregame warmups, a spot for your kids in the High Five Club with the players, and free throws on the court after the final buzzer. Dorsia also plans private five on five games, two dinners on the court, and premium seats for concerts all year.

“Great hospitality is about more than getting someone through the door,” said founder and CEO Marc Lotenberg. “It’s about what happens once they’re inside.”

Mr. Miami Take

Dorsia started as a way to get a table at Carbone. Now it’s selling something much bigger: moments money usually can’t buy. Your kid high fiving Bam Adebayo isn’t a reservation. It’s a memory. That’s the business now. Miami built this company, and Miami is where it keeps raising the bar.
