About Mashgin
Summary
Mashgin builds AI-powered self-checkout kiosks that use computer vision to identify items without barcodes or scanning. Retailers in convenience stores, stadiums, university dining halls, hospitals, and similar high-traffic venues use the hardware to let customers place items, pay, and leave in seconds. The product replaces traditional cashier-operated lanes and barcode scanners, cutting checkout time and reducing queue length.
Business model
Hardware deployment sold to B2B retail and food-service operators across physical locations.
Go-to-market
Mashgin sells to operators across convenience, sports venues, higher education, and healthcare through a direct deployment model, with customers ranging from stadium concessions to hospital cafeterias.
From the Y Combinator listing
Self-Checkout using Computer Vision.
Mashgin creates better retail experiences through visual automation. We’ve built a self-checkout kiosk that uses computer vision to scan multiple items without barcodes, reducing checkout time by 10x. We’re completely recreating the checkout experience in an industry that’s had little innovation in decades. Our clients see dramatic reductions in lines and revenue increases of as much as 400% as a result.
