For cafe and small-retail owners: see footfall, rush windows, queue pressure, and staffing fit — then conversion tension when POS is connected. One dashboard. No new cameras required.
Example / illustrative numbers only — not live customer data.
How cafe and small-retail floor analytics can look. Example views only — not live camera feeds, not a customer case study.
Your cameras already cover the floor. SoraData turns that into footfall, queue, and staffing insight — not a surveillance headline.
See how many people walk in by hour and by site. Spot the lunch crush and the quiet gaps without standing at the door with a clicker.
Busy floors that still miss sales show up as tension between traffic and transactions — especially once POS is connected. Check any site from your phone.
Roster against patterns you can see: under-staffed rushes, over-staffed lulls, and multi-site comparison on one screen.
Dig deeper: run a cafe without being there · queues as “proof of popularity” · time-to-serve
Picture a busy cafe or small retail floor. A large share of the day’s footfall can land in a short window — say midday — while the roster stays thin. Queues form, people leave, and sales feel “busy but soft.” The cameras already see that rush. The gap is matching staff to traffic.
That is the point of SoraData: see when people actually walk in, then roster to match — not to a guess. This is an illustration of the problem, not a customer case study, and not a published lift. The photos are atmosphere.
No new camera hardware. No lock-in contracts. Prices in A$ (AUD). Request a trial — then upgrade when you’re ready.

Footfall, trends, and conversion tension — layered on your existing cameras and POS. Not a spy kit.
People counts from the cameras you already run. AI counting — no door sensors or new hardware required.
Connect footfall to POS sales when you’re ready. See busy-but-soft hours by site — without inventing a lift percentage.
Every cafe or shop in one view. Compare footfall and patterns, spot outliers, manage the group without hopping NVRs.
Hourly, daily, and weekly patterns. Know rush windows, quiet gaps, and how the week actually behaves.
Quick look at any site, anytime. See the floor without digging through NVR footage — ops clarity, not a surveillance pitch.
Know exactly when staff open up and close down. Get notified of late openings so you never miss trading hours.
Match roster levels to real footfall. See when you’re thin in the rush or heavy in the lull — so you can adjust the next shift.
Motion alerts when your store should be empty. Peace of mind without a separate security monitoring contract.
See where customers spend time in your store. Optimise layouts, displays, and product placement.
Coming SoonIllustrative only: if conversion moved from 9.4% to 11% on the same footfall, that’s 8 more sales in that day. Not a customer result — simple arithmetic.
Most owners see till totals or camera clips — rarely both together. SoraData connects footfall to POS when you’re ready, so you can see conversion tension by hour and by site.
No invented lift percentages here. The job is to show the pattern so you can change roster, queue handling, or layout on the next shift.
Practical owner reading — till integrity, phone CCTV, absentee ops, queues, and time-to-serve. No invented stats.
No. SoraData works with your existing IP camera system — Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Hanwha, Bosch, Uniview, and most ONVIF-compatible cameras. If you already have cameras on the floor, you’re set. See also security cameras for a cafe.
No — and we don’t sell it that way. SoraData is floor analytics: footfall, rush windows, queue/staffing context, and conversion tension when POS is connected. Visual checks and open/close alerts exist for ops clarity. For AU employer CCTV questions, read our high-level guide (not legal advice).
Our AI analyses your existing camera feeds to detect and count people. It works with standard overhead or angled positions — no dedicated sensor bars required.
Many sites finish camera credentials and a short setup in under 20 minutes. POS connection is optional at start and can follow. No site visit required for the trial path.
We process video feeds for analytics only. We don’t store raw footage — analytics data (counts, timestamps, alerts) is stored securely in the cloud. Your video stays on your NVR.
Marketed integrations include Shopify, Square, Lightspeed, Vend, Hike POS, Tyro, Xero, MYOB, Kounta, and Retail Express. More are added over time. Need something else? Tell us in the trial form.
