Automatic Bar Controls and Guns

Several Smartender systems are specified to pour within 1/16th of an ounce. This accuracy supports consistent recipes and helps operators monitor beverage usage. Product capabilities vary by model, so the appropriate system should be selected according to the venue’s drink programme, ingredients, service format, and integration requirements.

The Smartender A-Series, Smartender GO, and Smartender systems are described as having an average pour time of 4 seconds per drink. Certain models can dispense liquor and mixers simultaneously. Actual service performance depends on the selected configuration, recipe, operating environment, and workflow.

The product range includes the Smartender A-Series Automated Cocktail Dispenser, Smartender Self Serve DUO, Smartender GO, Smartender CHILL, and Smartender. These options cover automated countertop dispensing, self-service ordering, portable beverage service, refrigerated mixer storage, POS integration, and remote operational management.

POS integration is available on several Smartender products. Supported capabilities include drink modifier recognition, payment processing compatibility, accessory outlets for POS and printers, and interfaces with most major POS systems for applicable models. Integration details should be reviewed against the venue’s existing POS platform and desired ordering workflow.

Smartender applications listed by the company include restaurants, bars and taverns, nightclubs, casinos, hotels, dining halls, airports and lounges, stadiums, arenas, concert venues, cinemas, theatres, event centres, catering operations, theme parks, amusement parks, and family entertainment centres. Portable models also support pop-up bars and mobile beverage service locations.

Automated bar systems can improve service speed, support consistent cocktail quality, reduce labour requirements, and help mitigate waste, shrinkage, spillage, over-pours, theft, and unauthorised drinks. Depending on the model, operators can also use remote monitoring, reporting, service scheduling, self-service ordering, and inventory-focused pour tracking.
