The Automated Drink Mixing System aims to revolutionize how bartenders serve mixed drinks at restaurants and pubs. With a focus on decreasing wait times for patrons and increasing bartender efficiency, this project addresses the inefficiencies of traditional drink service. Utilizing scalable production methods and easy-to-operate technology, the system integrates with existing POS terminals to eliminate the learning curve. It complements bartenders rather than replacing them, targeting a massive market potential for efficient service in the hospitality industry.

T.A.B./Project Motivation • Origin • Amherst Brewing Company • Bartender makes no tips for table ordered drinks - inefficient • Goals • Decrease drink wait time for seated patrons • Increase bartender efficiency • Easy to operate • Production at an affordable price • Should NOT replace the Bartender • Target Audience • Restaurants / Pubs
T.A.B./Project Motivation Cont. • Marketability • Scalable Production • Huge Market i.e., EVERY restaurant/pub where the bartender makes table ordered mixed drinks • Huge market means potential for large profit • Restaurants already use POS terminals – no learning curve • Automated Liquor Dispensers exist, but nothing that actually mixes the drink and dispenses it…
Plan of Attack • Break Design into Components • Software – Java • Hardware – PIC Assembly • Electromechanical • Allows for individual focus and encourages peer interaction • Time management • Top-Down approach
