The problem

Your kitchen runs all day. But a manual audit sees only one moment.

2–3×

audits a week can’t supervise a 16-hour day

An auditor sees a few minutes; Sauceit watches every minute of every shift.

what one incident can cost

Penalties, failed client audits, contract risk — because nobody saw it happen.

Questions we get asked

Straight answers.

Does this work with our existing CCTV cameras?

Yes. Sauceit instantly pairs with your DVR/NVR. No new hardware needed. If your cameras can record, they can power WatchTower.

How does AI detect PPE violations in a kitchen?

Every person in every frame is detected individually and checked for hairnet, gloves, apron, mask and footwear against the rules you set per zone. A violation becomes an alert with photo evidence showing exactly what was missing, on whom, where.

Can CCTV detect if kitchen staff are wearing gloves?

Yes. Glove, hairnet, apron, mask and footwear compliance are checked per person, continuously — not sampled a few times a day like a manual audit.

What is a kitchen hygiene score?

A single daily number per kitchen and per zone, computed from actual detections: checks passed versus violations flagged. It trends over time so you see whether compliance is improving — evidence, not impressions.

Do different areas get different rules?

Yes — zone-aware rules. Your cooking line, store room and washing area don't need the same PPE, so each zone gets its own rule set, editable from settings.

Is this FSSAI-ready?

WatchTower produces the audit trail FSSAI inspections care about: timestamped violations with photo evidence, zone rules mapped to your SOPs, and daily compliance records. It supports your compliance process — it is not a certification body.

What happens when nobody is watching the dashboard?

Everything. Detection runs 24/7 unattended; violations escalate to the concerned people in real time with photo proof. The dashboard is for review, not for babysitting.

How is this better than manual hygiene audits?

A manual audit samples a few moments a week and depends on who is auditing. WatchTower checks every person, every frame, every day, identically — and keeps the evidence.

What about our staff's privacy?

Footage stays yours. No biometric enrollment, no face databases. Frames are retained briefly for evidence and deleted on schedule — see our Privacy Policy for exact retention.

How fast can we go live?

Instantly — connect your DVR/NVR, name your cameras, set your zone rules, and monitoring starts the same day.
