London, UK – 21 April 2026: Tenzo, the real-time data and analytics platform for hospitality operators, has secured a $5m first close of its Series A extension round. The round is led by Edge.vc, with participation from existing investors Amadeus Capital Partners and YourVC, alongside Frontive Holdings, one of Tenzo’s customers.
Hospitality operators currently face increasing and consistent cost pressures and increasingly difficult day-to-day decision-making. This funding comes at a critical moment, with Tenzo aiming to address these issues through this investment, which will accelerate the company’s expansion and product development. Alongside the funding, Tenzo has also appointed Jane O’Riordan as Chair of the Board, who brings deep operational and strategic experience as Tenzo heads into its next stage of growth.
Tenzo was founded with a deep understanding of the difficulties faced by hospitality businesses that all operate within tight margins for success. The company helps operators move beyond historical reporting through real-time visibility across sales, labour, inventory and operations. By integrating data from Tenzo’s 100 technology partners, hospitality teams are provided with trusted insights that support making informed decisions in real-time. Tenzo has helped its customers increase labour productivity by 15%, reduce food waste by 80% and spend 75% less time compiling reports, on average.
Tenzo works with more than 250 customers and over the last year alone has brought on well-known brands JKS, Honest Burgers and Super8, among others. The company has also expanded its food and beverage (F&B) presence in hotels, including IHG, Dean Hotels, and Ennismore, and has been increasingly supporting international customers in the US, including PrimoHoagies, Parker Restaurant Group and Lettuce Entertain You.
In addition to Tenzo’s continued investment in technology and its partners, the new funding will be used to:
- Double the number of platform integrations over the next 18 months.
- Grow the Tenzo team and accelerate international expansion, particularly in the US market.
Commenting on the funding, Christian Mouysset, co-Founder and CEO of Tenzo, said: “This is a particularly tough moment for hospitality in the UK. Tenzo was born out of experiencing those challenges first-hand – we created it to help operators move from simply surviving to truly thriving. Today, we connect more than 100 tools across the industry, democratising access to data so operational teams can make better, faster, data-driven decisions every day. This investment allows us to deepen that support, continue innovating for our customers, and play a meaningful role in ensuring the long-term success of the hospitality industry.”
Hugo Sunnucks, Investment Manager at Edge.vc, added: “Tenzo is addressing a fundamental challenge in hospitality by helping operators make sense of complex operational data in real-time. The team has demonstrated strong traction, a clear understanding of the market and a compelling vision for how data and AI can support more resilient and sustainable hospitality businesses.”
Tenzo integrates with technology partners to ensure customers’ data flows seamlessly between systems and continues to expand its offering, integrations and reporting capabilities. Recent product launches include a new mobile app, allowing general managers (GMs), area managers and leadership teams to access key performance data on the go. TenzoGPT has also been introduced to enable teams to interact directly with their data using natural language.
