About Shire Intelligence
YC company profile
Shire uses CCTV to run restaurants in real time.
Shire is an AI floor manager for full-service restaurants, running on the cameras they already have. It sees what a great manager sees: a guest ready to order, a table waiting on the check, a four-top that needs clearing, a server that is double booked. Then it acts, alerting staff in the moment and seating each new party with the server who has room. A POS only knows what gets typed into it. Shire knows what is happening in the room, so wait-time quotes, staffing, and pricing run on real turn times.
