    They could very easily just implement some rudimentary person identification algos and output only a headcount.

    Pretty sure you can do that with OpenCV.

      I have this capability with my home assistant/frigate setup. Literally have a camera pointed at my back patio right now that says “Cats: 2” Cause my cats are sleeping on the couch out there.

        I have no experience with the software involved in that, but I do know that generally, anything connected to a POS system probably should not be connected to a publicly accessible… anything.

        Does this software even have APIs to do something like that?

        Or could you just point a webcam at a screen or portion of a screen that the default software indicates open tab count on lol?
