Seated Tech Stack
Rewards platform connecting diners to restaurant seats through dynamic pricing
Seated operates a two-sided marketplace linking consumers to restaurants via a rewards app, handling payments and demand orchestration across 1,000+ partners in 4 US markets. The tech stack (Java, Spring Boot, AWS, Kinesis, Datadog) reflects a payment-and-events infrastructure; active adoption of Temporal and AWS Step Functions signals a shift toward async workflow orchestration—likely to automate restaurant partner onboarding and order-to-rewards settlement at scale. Sales-heavy hiring (10 open roles) paired with infrastructure projects around fault-tolerant backends and payment datasets confirms the core bottleneck is partner acquisition and operational scaling, not product-market fit.
