Case Study: Cinemas NOS eliminates snack lines with Sensei’s AI-powered Pods and Cabs

Cinemas NOS cuts snack checkout to 49s with Sensei

The customer, Cinemas NOS, faced a common challenge in the leisure industry: long concession lines that disrupted the movie-going experience and created a buzzkill for its customers. To solve this, the cinema chain partnered with vendor Sensei to implement a seamless, time-saving snack purchasing solution.

Sensei implemented its Pod and Cab solutions, which are automated micro-stores equipped with mono-focal cameras, weight sensors, and AI software. These 24/7 solutions were deployed in multiple locations in Portugal, offering 37 SKUs and allowing customers to complete their purchases in an average of just 49 seconds, effectively eliminating wait times for snacks.
