Truffle (YC S26)

Truffle (now operating as Marble) is a New York-based Y Combinator S26 startup building an AI-native operating system for the restaurant back-of-house. It replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, clipboards and disconnected point solutions that restaurants, cafes and bars rely on with a single system: computer vision and voice AI capture real-time inventory levels, machine-learning models forecast item-level demand, and AI agents run end-to-end workflows like procurement, invoice reconciliation, scheduling, food prep and menu engineering. Founded by Aakar Khanna (CEO) and Arjun Chaliha (CTO), it targets the billions the hospitality industry loses each year to stockouts, food waste and lost profit.
