What happens at the counter, as a figure every hour.
AI video analytics on your existing cameras: portions in the kitchen, pickups and queues at the counter, opening times per branch. Reports by messenger, without new cameras.
DDC is a brand of M2D GmbH, Siegburg.
WHAT WE BUILTHow many portions went out today?
How many portions went out today?
The camera keeps count.
For a fast-food business, an AI counts the portions prepared in a marked zone on the existing kitchen camera. Results arrive every 30 minutes via a messenger bot and can be reconciled with the till system. For an operator of pickup points, the same principle analyses pickups, courier deliveries and queues at several sites.
≈ 95 %agreement of the daily total in testing: 35 counted, operator figures 33 to 37

Measured at one site against the operator’s figures. This accuracy requires a correctly aligned camera above the counting zone.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG
We have already thought of it.
Employees
We analyse workflows, not individual employees, and agree the concept with the works council.
Camera
Existing cameras are often enough. Accurate counting needs a correctly aligned camera above the zone; we check this on a frame beforehand.
Till
The figures can be reconciled with the till system, so you see deviations, not just totals.
Your data
If you require it, we run the system with a provider in Germany or on your own servers.
Your effort
Access to the camera and one contact person. No rebuild, no new equipment at the counter.
Money
The pilot is credited against the operating fees of the first twelve months. If the pilot does not hold up, the report says so.
PROCESS AND PRICEProof first.
Proof first.
Then the investment.
1 · FIRST CHECKfree
30 to 60 minutes in a video call, a frame from your camera in advance. Then an outline with a fixed price.
2 · PILOTfrom €3,900
One agreed event on one camera view, about four weeks. Credited.
3 · OPERATIONfrom €39 per camera / month
Counting and occupancy; kitchen from €59 per camera. Lower from 10 cameras.
THE EASIEST FIRST STEP
Send us one frame from kitchen or counter.
You get it back marked with what the AI would count and where the camera should hang better. Free, no appointment and no obligation.
