Bar equipment can include automated cocktail dispensers, self-service bar configurations, POS integrations, remote ordering technology, and software for drink programming and operational monitoring. Smart Bar USA offers the Smartender product family, including modular, portable, chilled, self-service, and remote-ordering solutions. The appropriate configuration depends on the venue’s service model, menu, available space, and desired level of automation.

Smartender systems use programmed recipes to dispense cocktails through an automated interface. Operators can configure drinks, integrate ordering with compatible POS systems, and use touchscreen or mobile ordering options. The system supports consistent pours and can provide drink modifier recognition, bottle-empty notifications, service scheduling, and performance information through Smartender software when the unit is online.
