Pizzeria Improves Performance and Minimizes Losses with Video Surveillance

Hideaway Pizza, a popular dine-in and takeout restaurant chain in Oklahoma, has selected March Networks’ next-generation retail solution to enhance security, reduce shrink, and optimize operations. Hideaway Pizza has already started deploying the video surveillance solution, which includes new March Networks 8000 Series Hybrid Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and MegaPX WDR MiniDome IP cameras. It is using the high-quality video to help improve loss prevention (LP) efforts, as well as increase store performance and profitability.
 
Working with SageNet LLC, an experienced systems integrator and March Networks certified partner, Hideaway Pizza has already installed the retail solution in several of its newer restaurants. It will also deploy the platform in other locations as required to replace a Windows-based legacy system that cannot be centrally managed. Hideaway Pizza equips each location with as many as 25 cameras, ensuring extensive coverage of its kitchens, cash drawers, bar areas, entrances, exits and parking lots.
 
The retailer's new March Networks solution includes the 8532 S Hybrid NVR, which delivers crystal-clear video and supports as many as 32 IP cameras or a combination of IP and analog cameras, enabling Hideaway Pizza to cost-effectively transition to high-definition IP video even as it continues to take advantage of its existing analog devices.
 
The retailer is also deploying MegaPX WDR MiniDomes to ensure clear, high-definition video capture in varied lighting conditions. Completing the solution is March Networks' Visual Intelligence software. The powerful software provides real-time system health monitoring and centralized video management that enables any number of restaurant managers, regional managers and executives to view video records onsite or remotely.

The new section allows customers to view special services or features for each store and connect to Target's Guest Wi-Fi network.

The retailer is also testing a new shopping list feature within its mobile app that allows consumers to add or delete items that are linked to a store. To use the feature, consumers set a store location to create a personalized shopping list. Gesture-based technology, allows the customer to swipe vertically and horizontally to add and remove items.
