For retail operators

We turn the doors you ignore into the data you need.

Yedi makes back-of-house doors smarter: sensing, scoring, and flagging what matters, so your team doesn't have to.

Where to start

Two doors. A stream of quiet problems.

Pick the door that's been on your mind this week. Two products on one platform: Yedi, the QR access sign for restrooms, and Yedi Pro, the smart lock that runs both your restroom and your stockroom. Start with one door and grow into the rest of the building from there.

The intelligence layer

Your doors generate data. Yedi is teaching it to think.

A lock that logs entries is useful. A system that recognizes a problem before you do is something else. Every Yedi sensor feeds models built to score, watch, and surface what matters, so the signal reaches you without someone having to go looking for it.

CleanScoreIn pilot

Cleanliness, scored by vision.

Staff photograph the restroom after a clean. A vision model reads the image and assigns a score. Over time, you get a trend line per location and an alert the moment a store starts slipping, long before it becomes a one-star review. Piloting now with select retail partners.

Anomaly detectionIn pilot

Watching for what shouldn't happen.

Yedi learns what a normal day looks like for each door: your traffic, your shifts, your patterns. When something drifts (a 3am stockroom entry, a supply burn that outruns foot traffic) it surfaces the outlier instead of burying it in a log. Piloting now across multi-location accounts.

We build these in the open with our customers. Pilot features are labeled as such, so you always know what is proven and what is still earning its place.

You're spending real money on signage, loyalty, and seasonal promotions to drive repeat visits. A neglected restroom undoes all of it. No angry email. No complaint to the manager. The customer just vanishes from your sales data.

The retail bathroom paradox
Yedi inside your app

An invisible layer.Powerful controls.

Your customers tap a button inside your app. The restroom unlocks. Yedi never appears anywhere in the moment.

You own the brand. You own the customer relationship. You own the data, including, for the first time, an identified record of which customers are physically in your store at which moment, tied back to their full purchase history.

One simple API. No second app for customers to download. No friction. No Yedi logo on a sticker next to your register.

Got an app of your own?

Put Yedi inside it.

If you already run a customer-facing app (loyalty, ordering, rewards) your customers can unlock the restroom straight from it. One tap inside your brand. Yedi never appears.

You own the experience and the data. We provide the API and work with your team to wire it in. It is the cleanest version of restroom access there is: no second app, no sticker by the register, no friction.

On the YediOS roadmap
  • Verified cleaning proof
    Timestamped staff check-ins paired with AI-scored photos of the result. Proof the work happened, and how well, not just an initialed clipboard.
  • Predictive cleaning prompts
    Move from usage-triggered to genuinely predictive. Yedi flags the clean before the room needs it.
  • Partner app integrations
    A growing library of direct integrations with the loyalty and ordering platforms retailers already run.
  • Cross-location intelligence
    Benchmarking and pattern detection that sharpens with every store and every door added.

Roadmap features are in active development. Want early access or a say in what we build? Talk to us.

A note from the founder
"

I started Yedi after years of watching the same problem from both sides. As a customer, I'd hunt for a decent restroom that didn't make me regret stopping in. As someone who's worked with retail operators, I watched them try to manage their stockrooms, supply closets, and back offices with a clipboard, a Post-it on the wall, and a key ring nobody could account for.

These are the spaces that are often overlooked, and they're also the ones costing operators the most. We're trying to bring some order to it, one door at a time.
