What Garten Offers

What Garten Offers

Why Teams Consider TULU

Why Teams Consider TULU

Residential, not office-only

Garten Market is not built for residential or multifamily properties — it's designed for corporate breakrooms in specific metro markets.

One category vs. one product

Garten covers snacks and craft beverages. TULU covers that same use case plus rentals, e-scooters, printing, and bookable services in one resident app.

Fully managed, minimal construction burden

TULU is designed to deploy without the buildout a dedicated market installation can require.

International, multi-asset-type reach

TULU operates internationally across four asset types; Garten is US-only and office-only.
