Exactly, tracking time in frame is a pretty standard CV task. Tracking # cups of coffee made would be require more sophistication than any cafe in the world could afford, if it’s even possible to do reliably.
If it can reliably recognise workers, and every worker is only making coffee for their own customers: count how many coffees the worker entered into the POS system based on timestamps.
Yeah that would be one way to do it without any computer vision tech. Recognizing workers might be a stretch even, that would require a model to be trained on shitloads of pictures of every single employee.
From how it looks in the screenshot, every worker has a differently colored tracer following their movement. Why mess around with face recognition, when you can just pin an led badge to every worker

Just think of all the resources needed to achieve this feat of human ingenuity. Only to use it to squeeze an extra .25% profit out of a barista.
Purely guessing for fun:

Because you can call it AI and squeeze an extra comma out of the coked-out VC ghouls funding your company
You could still do that without using any advanced AI. It’s not like the customers or VC ghouls are going to know the difference.
Calling algorithms AI is a time honored tradition.
