Deligo Vision Technologies

What Deligo Vision Technologies does

Deligo Vision Technologies is a Hungarian AI company, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Budapest with a UK sales presence, that builds computer-vision self-checkout kiosks for food service and convenience retail environments. Its core product is a dual-camera kiosk that uses proprietary machine learning to identify food and retail items by visual appearance — no barcode scanning required — and complete a transaction through tap-to-pay in as little as 8–30 seconds. Specialized capabilities include in-plate recognition of multi-component meals, automated age verification for restricted products, smart upselling, offline operating mode, and plug-and-play installation. The company also publishes a developer-facing API used by POS partners to integrate Deligo into their platforms.

The business operates a hybrid hardware-plus-software revenue model: it sells kiosk hardware, recurring SaaS subscriptions (billed annually under custom quote-based pricing), and professional services for integration and white-glove deployment. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales targeting large contract caterers, facility managers, universities, healthcare operators, stadiums, and convenience retailers with a channel-led motion through more than 16 POS software partners (Oracle, TCPOS, Innovorder, Kanpla, Lolly, Square, Microsoft, etc.) and 13+ payment providers (Adyen, WorldPay, Stripe, Worldline, FreedomPay, etc.). Named customers include WSH Group, CH&CO (Compass), ISS, Gather & Gather, Genuine Dining, ZFV Switzerland, Elior, Sodexo, Aramark, M&S, Southampton University, INSEAD, and BM Caterers, with over 150 deployments concentrated in the UK, France, and Switzerland.

The company has raised approximately $4.65M in venture funding across a March 2022 round led by Portfolion and a May 2024 seed round led by Frontline Ventures (with Grep VC and Robin Chase), earmarked for AI development, European expansion, and entry into the US market. Its platform is positioned within the frictionless-checkout competitive set alongside Amazon Just Walk Out, Standard AI, and Trigo, with the differentiation being a food-service-specialized recognition model, a lower-friction kiosk form factor versus ceiling-mounted camera systems, and a deeply integrated POS/payment partner ecosystem. The 2024 Cateys Best Use of Technology award (won by customer CH&CO/Compass) provides third-party validation of the deployment outcomes.
