Abstract
An online concierge system may receive multi-angle images of a plurality of instances of a grocery item carried at a physical store. Each instance of the grocery item is associated with one or more multi-angle images that are captured through a checkout process of the instance of the grocery item. The online concierge system may apply a machine learning model to the multi-angle images to identify expiration information of the plurality of instances of the grocery item. The online concierge system may use the identified expiration information to predict that a batch of the grocery item remaining in inventory of the physical store is close to expiration. The online concierge system may generate one or more item-specific suggestions associated with the expiration information with respect to the grocery item offered in the physical store.
