YC-backed Shire turns restaurants' existing CCTV cameras into a real-time operations layer — spotting when guests are ready to order or pay, when tables need clearing, and how to seat parties based on live server workloads. The platform bundles POS, kitchen display, 24/7 AI reservations, staffing and online ordering. Live in 13 restaurants, it has cut table turn times by 12% and saves an average of $31,000 per restaurant annually.
