Problem
Restaurant hosts and managers often rely on manual observation and guesswork to track table availability, balance server sections, and prevent double-seating, leading to uneven workloads, idle guests, and slower table turnover. Without real-time visibility into floor activity, restaurants struggle to identify bottlenecks and make timely staffing or seating decisions.
Solution
Shire is an AI-powered restaurant operations platform that uses existing security cameras to automatically update the live state of every table, balance covers across servers, and prevent double-seating. The platform provides hosts with real-time table states and balanced sections, helping keep guests moving and staff productive. Shire combines visual activity with POS, reservation, and staffing data to explain what is slowing the restaurant down and what to change. It adapts to the pace, staffing, and workflow of various food businesses, from full-service dining to drive-thru, and integrates with point-of-sale, kitchen display, online ordering, and reservation tools for a unified workflow.
