Embodiment Construction

[0015] The purpose of the system according to the invention is to prevent theft, giveaways and spills from happening, thus reducing the cost of institutional drinks considerably.

[0016] The present invention provides a liquid storage system, a tool for tracking and storing information. By utilizing radio frequency identification technology (RFID), pouring spouts, wine bottles, and storage are combined into a wireless network. Incorporated into the system is storage software that records the beverages poured and how much is poured, enabling managers to see detailed data on all alcoholic beverages dispensed.

[0017] The system consists of pouring spouts, receivers, barcode scanners, and bar terminals. Alternatively, a central server may be used to collect information from multiple bar terminals. Pour spouts have several features that set them apart from traditional pour spouts; they have integrated barcodes, the ability to measure pour volume, and they are able to transmit ...

Abstract

The present invention pertains to a pourer spout, a use of the pourer spout, a method for measuring liquid outflow from a container, and an inventory system for liquids. The invention aims at solving the problem to keep track of the volume of liquids that has been dispensed from one or several containers. Basically, this problem is solved by providing each container with a pourer spout that determines the volume of the poured fluid. This is achieved by measuring the inflow of air into the container. The invention can e.g. be used for registering the dispensed liquor in a restaurant or a bar.

Description

Background technique [0002] Traditionally, bars and other establishments that serve alcoholic beverages have had limited or no control over the flow of alcohol, with no ability to differentiate which beverage is being sold. There is no actual measurement in the bar - the bartender can give less, more, free or refill drinks, and the management personnel can't find out the source. The most common primary method of monitoring storage and spillage volume today is to map sells to buys and calculate the rate of return afterwards. Then get a comparison result of real yield and forecast based on sales price. By convention, these two values ​​are always different. This does not provide sufficient insight into individual beverage consumption or where spillage and waste / loss occurs. The average bar owner is losing 5 to 1...
