SimSense for cafés · menu boards

The board runs itself.

Give us your Shopify URL. SimSense builds a rotating board out of what is actually selling, puts it on the screen behind your counter, and keeps it honest — an agent checks your till through the day and re-cuts the board when the numbers move.

What you get

Three pieces, one afternoon.

01

A connection to your data

An MCP server links SimSense to the systems you already run — your storefront for the catalogue and the prices, your till for what actually sold this morning.

shopify · toast · square

02

An agent that takes action

Your SimSense agent builds the first board, then keeps working: re-ranking by what is selling, pulling items that ran out, and re-cutting the rotation when the numbers move.

checks in · every 30 min

03

A board you edit by asking

"Put the cold brew first." The board is a Sim, so you change it in the SimSense chat and the screen updates in place. No CMS, no designer, no reprint.

03 · Engagement

Find out if anyone is actually looking.

Add a camera and SimSense measures attention, not footfall. It sees who stops, which page of the rotation held them, and for how long — so you learn which items earn the look, and which page to put them on.

Build your own dashboard

Watch engagement as it happens and change the board from the same place. It is a Sim, so you shape it by asking — no dashboard software to buy or learn.

Bring your own hardware

Connect an old phone to SimSense and it becomes a sensor: a camera, a screen and a network connection you already own. Nothing else to buy.

See it running in a real cafe

SimSense is live at Birch Coffee in New York. Go and watch a board keep itself current over the counter.

Hardware

Runs on what you can buy today.

The board needs a screen. Watching the board needs a camera. Neither has to be special.

The screen

Anything with a browser

A TV on the wall, an iPad on the counter, a display in the window. If it opens a URL, it can hold a board.

The camera

Arduino Uno Q + camera

The tinkerer's route — a board, a camera module, and full control over what runs at the edge.

The camera

AI cameras

Cameras with the compute already inside. Power one, point it at the board, and it starts reporting.

The shortcut

An old phone

Seriously. A phone on a stand is a camera and a screen at once. Get started in five minutes with hardware already in your drawer.

A board that runs Linux and Arduino at once, plus a camera to point at the board.
