US Restaurant Deploys Envysion PoS Video Surveillance

Envysion, a provider of Managed Video as a Service (MVaaS), announced Garden Fresh Restaurant has selected Envysion as its exclusive video surveillance provider. Garden Fresh Restaurant, the operator of 120 salad buffet-style restaurants under the Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes brands, will use Envysion's PoS integrated video surveillance to scale the capabilities of their loss prevention department and leverage business insights to improve operational performance.

“The Envysion solution allows me to view video and integrated exception reporting of our restaurants, so I can increase my loss prevention effectiveness and efficiency through remote site auditing and investigating potential fraud or theft,” said Jamie Knight, Director of Asset Protection for Garden Fresh. “Within three months we realized a material improvement in gross profit. We're averaging an increase of about US$920 in profit at each Envysion site every month. Assuming we see those results as we roll out the Envysion solution across our locations, the impact could add up to millions of dollars per year.”

Envysion goes beyond traditional security and loss prevention applications by integrating managed video surveillance with PoS systems. In addition to the customary benefits of video surveillance, Envysion automatically tracks potentially fraudulent transactions such as voids, returns, discounts and coupons. The MVaaS solution puts video surveillance into the hands of the entire organization, fostering a companywide responsibility for loss prevention. Through the solution, a revolutionary new approach to managed video, customers can extend the impact of Envysion with a variety of loss prevention services delivered by expert, third-party partners.
