Full cases and clean tables, proven every rush

Your cafés run the morning and evening rush without you, and you find the empty case or the messy drink station on your next drive-by.

A pastry case with gaps at the morning rush, restocked and shown full by the same cameraA camera over the counter watches a three-shelf pastry case. At the morning rush three slots are empty, so the shift lead's phone gets a task. The shift lead restocks the case, and the same camera shows it full again, matching its baseline. Three checks pass, case matches the baseline, same camera and eleven minutes to fix, and a receipt prints, stamped verified.COUNTER CAM · CASETHE CASE, NOT PEOPLE3 GAPS · 07:41FULL · 07:52TASK · SHIFT LEADBASELINE · FULL CASECHECKSCASE = BASESAME CAMERA11 MIN FIXCASE RESTOCKPASSEDSTORE 307:41 → 07:52VERIFIEDEVERY RUSH, PROVEN

§ 01

How it works with what you already run.

A gloved hand slides a tray of croissants into the one empty slot of a full bakery-café pastry case
  1. 01

    Draw the zones

    Draw the case, cooler, tables and drink station on the cameras you already have, and save each one full and clean. That's the baseline.

  2. 02

    Watch the rush

    Snapshots through the day look for gaps in the case, an empty cooler or a messy station.

  3. 03

    Task the shift lead

    The shift lead's phone gets a task with the snapshot: restock the case, wipe the station.

  4. 04

    Check it

    The same camera's after-snapshot is compared with the baseline. Zones no camera sees get a phone photo. Anything unclear goes to a person.

  5. 05

    See every location

    Every alert and fix lands in one feed across your locations, with the times.

§ 02

Empty at 7:41, full by 7:52.

The snapshot that caught the gap is the one the after-snapshot is checked against, from the camera already over the counter.

§ 03

Every location, checked between your visits.

  • Cases, coolers, tables and drink stations checked from the cameras you have
  • A task to the shift lead's phone when something drifts
  • The same camera showing it fixed, with the time
  • One feed across all your locations
  • A dated record if a customer, an inspector or your franchisor asks
Proves
The case, cooler or area matched its full, clean baseline when the after-snapshot was taken, and when the gap was first seen.
What we won't do
  • It looks at the case, the cooler and the room, never at people, and nothing ranks or scores staff.
  • Faces are covered before any model sees a frame.
  • Each receipt shows the zone at capture, not that it stayed full all hour.
  • In early access: we're running it with a first group of franchise owners.
§ 04

A receipt for every rush.

One proof per alert: the camera snapshot that caught the empty case, the staff task, and the same camera showing it full again.

The alert went out at 7:41. The case was full again at 7:52, and the receipt shows both times.

Questions franchise owners ask

Do I need new cameras?

Usually not. Most locations already have a camera over the counter or the dining room. Where none sees a zone, a staff phone photo covers it.

Does it watch my staff?

No. It looks at the case, the cooler and the room, never at people, and faces are covered before any model sees a frame. Nothing ranks or scores staff.

Do I need my franchisor's approval?

Check your franchise agreement for technology and vendor rules. Many owners tell their field consultant what they're testing, and we can help with that conversation.

What does a pilot look like?

One location for 30 days, with two weeks of baseline first, so you can compare empty-case minutes and fix times before and after.
