Amniscient and Volanté Systems Partner to Advance Computer Vision in Cafeterias
A Single Line of Code is Changing Cafeterias
Toronto, September 12, 2025 – Volanté Systems and Amniscient have announced a strategic partnership that combines Volanté’s trusted point-of-sale (POS) solution with Amniscient’s AI computer vision platform. This collaboration enables new and existing self-service kiosks to benefit from computer vision with just a single line of code. Volanté, with over 1,000 kiosks and one billion transactions, brings significant reach and reliability. The partnership aims to transform how organizations deliver food service at scale.
Volanté is dedicated to providing scalable and reliable POS solutions that streamline operations and enhance the customer experience. By partnering with Amniscient, a leader in real-world applications for computer vision AI, Volanté expands its offerings to provide greater value to clients. Amniscient’s approach layers computer vision onto existing POS software, turning self-service units into autonomous self-checkout kiosks. Benefits include:
- 4X faster throughput
- Multiple item transactions in seconds
- Increased customer sales
Implementation is designed for easy adoption, requiring only a single line of code and minimal additional hardware. Rollout is straightforward, with object capture handled entirely on iPhones already available.
“Our number one goal is providing innovative tools that simplify technology and deliver tangible business impact. We are thrilled to be unlocking new possibilities for the hospitality and food service industries.”
— Volanté Systems CEO, Sunil Selby
Key opportunities for cafeteria concepts include reducing friction during peak service periods and establishing greater consistency across products. The partnership between Volanté and Amniscient is positioned as a significant advancement for the hospitality and food service industries.
“I started Amniscient to tackle the challenge of bringing automation to school cafeterias during the pandemic, a project that ultimately failed because there was no simple, fast, and accurate computer vision option under a hundred million dollars. It is an incredible moment to see years of work culminating in a plug and play object detection solution for students, employees, and cafeterias all over the country that you can build and deploy in a week without a machine learning engineer or data scientist.”
— Amniscient CEO, Suresh Yalamanchili
