Restaurant Kitchen Insect Detection
Detecting pests before diners ever see them
Computer vision on kitchen cameras that flags insect activity in seconds, not shifts.
The Problem
A large restaurant group struggled to catch pest incidents early. Manual checks were slow, inconsistent across sites, and outcomes only surfaced through customer complaints or health-inspection reports.
What We Delivered
- 1
A specialised computer-vision model trained on real kitchen footage to detect common pest activity in low light.
- 2
Edge deployment on affordable devices so nothing sensitive leaves the site.
- 3
A supervisor dashboard with alerts, verified incidents and site-by-site trends.
- 4
A monthly compliance report auto-generated for the food-safety team.
Key Results
incidents caught during the same shift they occurred
average time from detection to a supervisor being alerted
health-inspection failures across pilot sites since go-live
“We used to hear about pest issues from customers. Now we hear about them from our dashboard first.”
