Just watched a chain restaurant employees do their hourly picture taking of the store to send off to corporate through a locked down tablet. I asked them about it. Turns out corporations are now using tablets and Ai to manage stores. Holy shit

This doesn’t make any sense… why would they have an employee walking around with a tablet instead of just slightly beefing up the already in place security surveillance system?
As a consumer I could have better visibility with a few hundred bucks worth of Ring cameras.
Knowing the way corporations are I would guess some vendor convinced them this was a better solution. Probably some executive got a kickback too which is why it will stay that way.
Yeah plus putting cameras to see every part of the store now requires way more cost/maintenance than just telling the underpaid manager “take these 10 photos every month or we’ll fire you”
It’s every hour, not every month. It’s a considerable expense to have a human do that 12-16 times a day.
My guess is roi and the cost of Ai scanning a photo for out of place/damaged/dirty items. There not even going through the effort of viewing the photos or security cameras. The Ai flags the fry cooker as dirty, staff cleans again, take another picture an hour later, Ai flags fry cooker as dirty, human manager notified.
