Cameras count entries, plates, meals served and waste — per meal window, calibrated against a manual count before you ever bill from it.
Manual counts drift — and someone pays for the gap.
A full-time job that still produces disputable numbers.
Whoever has data wins. Usually nobody has data.

| QR / app-based | Biometric | Sauceit (camera) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee action needed | Scan every meal | Enroll + touch/face daily | None — walk in, eat |
| Biometric / PII risk | Phone data | Face/fingerprint database (DPDP-sensitive) | No enrollment, anonymous counts |
| Catches proxy meals | Codes get shared | Partially | Counts actual people & plates |
| Verifies the invoice | Trusts self-reports | Attendance ≠ meals served | Entry vs plates vs served vs waste |
| New hardware | Kiosks/phones | Readers at every gate | Your existing CCTV |
Cameras over the entrance, plate stack and serving counter count each person once per meal window — unique person identification means nobody is counted twice: who entered, who took a plate, who was served, what went to waste. The counts become finance-ready reports you reconcile against your invoice.
No. No fingerprints, no face registration, no cards, no coupons. Counting is anonymous and camera-based — which is exactly why adoption is instant and unions don't object.
Each deployment includes a calibration day: our counts run side-by-side with a manual tally and we publish the measured accuracy to you before you bill from it. A billing number without a stated error rate is a dispute waiting to happen — so we state it.
People groups: you teach the system uniforms or markers (a photo and a few taps) — green-shirt staff billed to the company, visitors billed directly. Fully configurable per contract.
Yes — served meals are separated from brought-from-home eating, so the bill covers only meals actually served.
Per meal window and per day: footfall, plates picked, meals served, live cafeteria occupancy, home-food eaters, after-hours consumers, waste-area activity — on a live dashboard and exportable as CSV for finance.
Billing numbers at least 12 months for reconciliation; evidence frames briefly per the retention schedule. Your finance team can pull history any time.
₹3,499 per camera per month, or ₹2,999 on the annual introductory offer — most cafeterias need 3–5 cameras (entry, plate stack, counters, waste). Against monthly leakage on thousands of meals, the maths usually settles itself. Outside India, billing is in USD — see pricing.
Usually not. Any HD CCTV camera (1080p or better) from the mainstream makes — Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus, Uniview — works well; a clear view of the entry, plate stack and serving counters matters more than the brand. We check camera positions and quality during onboarding and tell you honestly if one needs repositioning or upgrading.
We count alongside your manual tally and publish the measured accuracy — before you bill a rupee from it.
