The company has secured seed financing to scale its platform, which functions as a collaborative workspace for human staff and AI agents. Unlike traditional software that requires operators to manually input or analyze data across fragmented systems, Tandem’s technology is designed to interface directly with point-of-sale, inventory, and accounting platforms. The goal is to move beyond mere data storage toward active operational support.

Restaurateur Michael Schulson has joined the project as a Founding Partner to ensure the product addresses real-world challenges faced by kitchen and front-of-house teams. Schulson, who oversees the Schulson Collective, will guide product strategy to ensure the AI focuses on high-value workflows rather than adding complexity to the current tech stack. By building agents that operate within existing digital ecosystems, the founders intend to reduce the manual labor currently required to manage restaurant business processes.
