Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

To eliminate the primary friction point of live events—concession lines—the venue deployed checkout-free technology across retail and food stores. Utilizing computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning, the system tracks which items a fan picks up and automatically charges their card upon exit, removing the need for cashiers.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"A transformative operational model for high-throughput venues. While the initial hardware installation (overhead cameras/sensors) is capital intensive, the increase in transactions-per-minute and the repurposing of cashier labor to food preparation drives significant ROI."

warning The Challenge

Long lines for food and merchandise cause fans to miss game action and discourage spending. Traditional point-of-sale (POS) systems, even with contactless payment, create bottlenecks during halftime rushes.

psychology The Solution

The venue installed the 'Just Walk Out' system. Overhead cameras create a 3D model of the store environment, tracking guests as objects. Weight sensors on shelves verify item removal. The virtual cart is finalized when the guest walks through the exit gate.

Risk Factor Severity Mitigation Strategy
Privacy Concerns Medium Data anonymization; tracking focuses on skeletal/object data, not facial recognition (claimed).
Accuracy/Shrinkage Low Sensor fusion provides high accuracy; shrinkage rates comparable to standard retail.
