Are you ready to be scanned when you enter a taproom? Is speedee ordering worth it? I have read articles where license plates can be scanned to speed drive-thru ordering and now there is a new company that will take camera technology and add it to a bar to film customers as they enter so that the bartenders know who was in line first.
The company is DataSparQ and they began bar testing in London in June with more tests trials to come. More than facial data will be compiled as the company is selling how to track busy and slack times amidst other data points.
Seems just a skosh intrusive to me. Enough of my personal data is being stored in server farms enough as it is. I would rather come back to a bar at a less busy time rather than having my face be my ticket like I am at a busy deli. Serving # 90 now, the gentlemen with greying hair is next.
