The median wait at an MLB concession stand is 17 minutes.

The average MLB inning is also 17 minutes.

Every trip to the stand costs a fan an inning of baseball.

Over 80% have walked away from a line without spending a dollar, and 77% say they would spend more if it moved faster.

Fans deserve better. Check out our full blind MLB survey for more insights: https://hubs.li/Q04vq3ms0

54% of convenience store customers will walk out without buying if the line is four people or longer.

This Mashgin data analyzed 65 high-volume 15-minute periods across six stores, and found that adding a single Mashgin unit to a one-cashier store lifted throughput by 150%.

That same setup moved 36% more guests than competing stores running two traditional cashiers.

Northern Arizona University's campus store just grew sales 69% in 6 months. $427K → $722K.

Their secret weapon? Two Mashgin kiosks that let students dump a whole armful of snacks on a tray and pay in about four seconds.

Turns out when the line stops being scary, people buy the second energy drink.

Sodexo GM Gina Rios summed it up better than our marketing team ever could: "The Mashgin units are never a problem — we like them."

We'll take it. 🐝

"We have seen increases in sales up to 50% per location, which is unheard of in our industry." — Gordan Kalinic, Resident District Manager at Aramark. Fifty percent. Not from a new menu, a price change, or more staff, but from getting people out of line in 15–23 seconds.

Retail this quarter is spending a fortune teaching AI to catch shoplifters. We spent ours making the theft harder to commit than paying.

1.62% is the industry-average dollar loss. 1.07% is Mashgin's, from all causes. 0.17% is the share of ours that traces to intentional or accidental misuse of the checkout itself.

That third number is the one nobody else in this category can report the same way. Most AI loss prevention measures how well it catches a failure. We measure how rarely the failure is available at all.

If your system asks shoppers to scan, missed scans become your loss surface, and every mitigation after that is downstream of handing over the scanner. So we removed the scan. Cameras identify the full order in one pass. Put items down, pay, leave.

You can't skip a step that doesn't exist.
