I agree with @jschveibniz,

Some more questions to consider:

* Are there any other companies that would need something like this? Is there a market?

* Is it potentially transferable to other retailers or even other use case in general?

This seems very similar to these self-checkout systems for cafeterias where an image of the food is taken and than recognized.

Before I would to anything of what you mentioned above, I would work my ass off to get some potential customer interviews, especially with other companies as well. Just understanding if this can become a real product or this might "only" be a project-based work that you can sell to company A.
