Dartmouth Tuck School of Business improves dining experience with Mashgin AI self-checkout

Mashgin has rolled out its self-checkout technology at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business in Hanover, New Hampshire. 

New touchless self-checkout kiosks speed up the checkout experience for Tuck students, with average transaction times at Mashgin kiosks said to be between 10 and 16 seconds.

These use AI powered computer vision to recognise and ring up objects up to 10x faster than traditional checkout with a cashier. Mashgin instantly identifies packaged goods, produce, and open plated food items (e.g., a piece of fruit, salad, combo meal plate) from any angle.

Consumers place their items on the kiosks and are ready to pay without barcodes, apps or RFIDs.

“We initially piloted Mashgin’s technology in a 24/7 unmanned convenience store. Our students loved the technology and ease of use,” says Amelia Heidenreich, General Manager of Tuck Dining and Catering. 

“We decided to add a second unit to our dining hall to increase the speed of service, and we may consider 

deploying more.”

Mashgin’s tech has been deployed at more than 3,700 locations to date.

Over the past year, the firm has been growing its footprint in higher education – and it will continue those efforts in 2024.

Today, its offering is present in 30+ universities and colleges including Texas A&M and Western Colorado.

Beyond campuses, its machines can be found in more than 100 major league sports stadiums, thousands of convenience stores and corporate dining facilities throughout the US.

“Our deployment at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business helps to improve the checkout experience for countless students every day,” says Mashgin Vice President of Sales Brandon Scott.

“While we have grown significantly in sports venues and convenience stores in the past few years, corporate and student dining facilities continue to be an important use case for Mashgin and one where we can save students and employees valuable time.”
