Marble on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Marble is the first AI-native operating system for the restaurant back-of-house. Restaurants, cafes and bars still run on a patchwork of disconnected point solutions, spreadsheets, clipboards and tribal knowledge, which costs the industry billions each year in stockouts, food waste, and lost profit. Marble replaces that entire stack with one system. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "The autonomous back of house for restaurants. One platform to manage your entire operation, more profitably." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Aakar Khanna, Founder/CEO: Co-Founder and CEO at Marble (YC S26). Previously Head of Strategy & Operations at Kouper (healthcare applied AI) and an early BizOps hire at AtoB (YC S20). Started career as an Investment Banking Analyst at Goldman Sachs covering Restaurants and Food & Beverage. Grew up managing family's multi-unit restaurant business. (source)
  • Arjun Chaliha, Founder/CTO: Co-Founder & CTO at Marble (YC S26). Previously Senior Software Engineer at Bloomberg, leading AI/ML initiatives for Electronic Trading. CFA Charterholder.
