These are the restaurant jobs we actually built cameras to do — kitchen pass, tables, counter, bags, riders, cash and camera health. Not a generic “AI CCTV” list.
01
Kitchen vs bill
A plate leaves the pass. If it has no matching bill, you get the clip. Unbilled food is a review flag, not an automatic accusation.
02
People count
How many people walked in, sat, and left. Occupancy you can look at — not eight hours of tape.
03
Table vs guests
Headcount at a table checked against the guest count on the bill. A gap is a clip, not a guess.
04
Dine-in vs waiting
Sitting is not dining. Dining is a person + food on the table + time. Waiting for a parcel is not a meal.
05
Takeaway bags
Packed food leaving the pass — bag or box, not a plate to a table. Counted against cash-counter bills.
06
Rider pickup
A delivery rider taking a parcel is a different event from a walk-in takeaway. Matched to the delivery bill.
07
Staff vs guest
Who’s working the floor and who’s sitting as a customer. Roster leads; the camera corroborates. It does not name a person as guilty.
08
Cash after close
Drawer opened after closing time. The clip is waiting. You decide what it means.
09
Camera health
Offline, frozen, stale, storage full. A dead camera is never shown as live. Outage is not “no incident.”
10
Find the clip
18:42 at the counter. Twenty seconds, time-stamped, on your phone — not four hours of scrubbing.
11
Queue at the door
A line built up while you weren’t on the floor. Useful for staffing, not for blaming a face.
12
After hours
Kitchen, store and restricted areas after close. Presence is flagged. Identity still comes from your staff process, not a face score.
