NEW DELHI:
Restaurant tech platform Dineout
has collaborated with India’s largest video
artificial intelligence
(AI) implementation company, Staqu to assist partner restaurants maintain
social distancing norms
as the
food services industry
opens its doors for customers after months of lockdown.
Staqu will extend its AI-powered COVID-19 combat suite to Dineout partner restaurants to render specialised analytics on restaurant operations. It will also bring the live feed to diners, thereby helping them monitor safety parameters in the kitchen.
The company’s proprietary video analytics platform JARVIS (joint AI research for video instances and streams) will be integrated with cameras installed in the restaurant kitchens. This will help exercise the necessary supervision over safety regulations undertaken and will also help in checking violations.
“Integrating JARVIS in Dineout’s existing framework will help restaurants and food aggregators safely navigate through the crisis and win customers back as business turns a new leaf in the unlock,” said Atul Rai, co-founder & CEO of Staqu.
A live stream of the kitchen proceedings will assure customers of hygiene compliance and sanitization standards. This in turn will reinforce consumer confidence, thereby increasing footfalls to the restaurants.
The dining areas will also be monitored for hand wash, mopping/cleaning, social distancing, crowding, mask compliance and
contact tracing
.
Commenting on the collaboration, Ankit Mehrotra, co-founder and CEO of Dineout said: “Today, people are apprehensive to visit food joints or enjoy their favorite cuisine due to the fear of contracting the virus. Our partnership with Staqu will play an instrumental role in reviving customer confidence by assuring them of hygiene compliance not only in dining areas but the kitchens as well. Adopting AI-powered video analytics solutions, such as those offered by Staqu, is the right step for the F&B industry during this time.”
The combat suite by Staqu includes COVID-19 identification, suspect tracing, PPE monitoring, security, safety and hygiene analytics, and people analytics.
Leveraging its advanced video solution JARVIS, Staqu aims to empower new-age corporates to uphold optimum safety standards and ensure the well-being of their internal and external stakeholders when trade and commerce switch back to business as usual after the lockdown is reversed.
