Overview
DeligoVision provides an AI-powered checkout solution for canteens and micro-markets that speeds up the purchase process by visually recognizing items without barcodes. Its AI engine, trained on over 1.5 million transactions, can instantly identify fresh and packaged foods and even distinguish meal components or takeaway containers. The system runs on compact kiosks that integrate with existing point-of-sale, payment, and management systems, enabling a checkout in about three seconds. This approach differentiates DeligoVision through its real-time visual recognition, small hardware footprint, and seamless integration, plus the ability to reallocate staff to higher-value tasks. The company aims to reduce lines, boost efficiency, and increase revenue for food service operators while improving customer satisfaction.
