Houston- and Bhubaneswar-based AI startup Kutlerri.ai has raised $4 million funding from Houston-based Narahari Investments to expand its artificial intelligence solutions for the restaurant industry.
Key Highlights:
- Kutlerri.ai raises $4 million funding from Narahari Investments to expand its AI-powered restaurant solutions and product portfolio.
- Its AI Catering Sales Agent reportedly generated $450,000 in additional revenue for US restaurant group RASA over 10 months.
The company plans to use the fresh $4 million funding to scale its AI Catering Sales Agent, introduce three additional AI agents currently in beta testing and develop a mobile-first self-service application for restaurant operators.
Founded in December 2025 by Kiran Rana and Payal Tripathy, Kutlerri.ai is developing AI agents designed to help restaurants increase sales, control operating expenses and improve profitability. Ankit Narain and Rishabh Srivastav are also part of the founding team.
Kutlerri.ai Builds AI Agents to Improve Restaurant Profitability
Kutlerri.ai follows a performance-linked pricing model, charging restaurants based on the additional revenue generated or costs saved through its solutions rather than relying on fixed subscription fees.
The startup currently has more than 10 signed customers in the US. Its product development and engineering operations are based in Bhubaneswar, while it also maintains an office in Houston.
Its first commercial offering, the AI Catering Sales Agent, helps restaurants identify potential catering customers within a 30-mile radius. The agent reaches out to prospects through emails, text messages and phone calls, and supports restaurants in converting enquiries into catering orders.
AI Catering Sales Agent Generates $450,000 for Restaurant Group
Kutlerri.ai developed its catering sales solution in collaboration with RASA, a fast-casual restaurant group operating five locations in the Washington DC region.
According to the startup, the AI agent helped RASA generate $450,000 in additional catering revenue over 10 months. This was more than 10 times the amount RASA paid for the service. The company also said the additional revenue was generated without the restaurant group hiring extra sales personnel.
The product is designed to automate prospect identification and outreach, helping restaurant operators pursue catering opportunities without building a separate sales team.

The latest funding will support product launches and team expansion as the company broadens its technology offering for restaurant operators. While the US remains its primary market, the startup is also exploring opportunities in India and other geographies.
With its performance-linked pricing model and expanding portfolio of AI agents, Kutlerri.ai is targeting restaurant businesses seeking technology-led ways to improve sales productivity and manage operating costs.
