You got it. Consider it formally on the list. Friendly with any of the staff over there?

No, although I've chatted with Dolly herself the few times I've been in. Oh, you mean Philz ... also no. Really nice space, though.

Dolly, I meant.

What is that "little guy" called?

he has a couple names: "little guy; wall•e (unofficial); density nano" but what he's made of is two infrared distance sensors. measures ingress and egress.

Is the count for total occupancy or patrons in line? (I haven't been in that location so I don't know the layout).

Total occupancy but larger spaces can be segmented however they might want (order line, dining, bathrooms, bar area, etc.) Just need to separate two sections with a sensor.

1 sensor... ingress = movement into one area out of an adjacent area. Simultaneously, that counts as an egress (that person having moved out of that adjacent area into the next).
