Kutlerri.ai Funding: Raises $4 Mn from Narahari Investments

Restaurant technology startup Kutlerri.ai has raised $4 million from Houston-based Narahari Investments to expand its portfolio of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for restaurants. The fresh capital will be used to scale its AI Catering Sales Agent, launch three other AI agents currently undergoing beta testing and develop a mobile-first self-service application for restaurant operators.

Founded in December 2025 by former HighRadius executives Kiran Rana and Payal Tripathy, Kutlerri.ai is developing AI agents designed to help restaurants increase revenue, manage operating expenses and improve profitability. Rana serves as cofounder and CEO, while Tripathy is cofounder and COO. Ankit Narain and Rishabh Srivastav are also part of the founding team.

Headquartered in Stafford, Texas, the company has its product development and engineering operations in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, and an office in Houston. It currently has more than 10 signed customers in the US.

Unlike conventional restaurant software providers that charge fixed subscription fees, Kutlerri.ai follows an outcome-based pricing model. It charges restaurants a share of the additional revenue generated or costs saved through its services.

Kutlerri.ai’s AI Agent Generates $450K for RASA

Kutlerri.ai’s first commercially available product, the AI Catering Sales Agent, helps restaurants identify and convert potential catering customers. It identifies businesses within a 30-mile radius of a restaurant and contacts prospective customers through emails, text messages and phone calls. It also responds to incoming enquiries and follows up with leads to help convert them into catering orders.

The product was developed in collaboration with RASA, a five-location fast-casual restaurant group operating across Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia.

According to Kutlerri.ai, its Catering Sales Agent helped RASA generate $450,000 in new catering revenue over a 10-month period. The revenue was more than 10 times the fees RASA paid for the service. The restaurant group achieved this without hiring additional sales personnel.

Kutlerri.ai Plans to Expand Teams and Product Portfolio

With the fresh funding, Kutlerri.ai plans to expand its strategy, marketing, customer success and engineering teams as it accelerates product development and brings additional AI agents to market.

The startup is primarily focused on the US restaurant industry, where it currently serves more than 10 signed customers across multiple cities. It is also exploring opportunities in India and other geographies.

The company is developing a mobile-first self-service application that will allow restaurant operators to access its AI agents. The application is expected to complement its existing managed-service model, under which Kutlerri’s team handles much of the execution on behalf of restaurants.

Its technology is designed to work with data from restaurant point-of-sale systems, food delivery platforms, customer relationship management tools, accounting software and inventory systems. The agents use this information to identify opportunities to generate additional sales or reduce operating costs.
