A product dispenser is configured to dispense products subject to a warning and products not subject to a warning, the product dispenser further configured to transmit a product warning notice only in response to a request to dispense a product subject to the warning. In another embodiment, a product dispenser is configured to dispense a food or beverage product and provide information indicative of an attribute of the food or beverage product, such as nutrition facts, as it is being dispensed. In another embodiment, a product dispenser is configured to enable a user to request a customized product from the product dispenser, to determine a first profile for the customized product blend, compare the first profile to a second profile, and reformulate the customized product blend to a dispensed product blend comprising a third profile approximating the second idealized profile.

The present invention relates to a beverage font (10) for a beverage dispensing system. The beverage font (10) comprising a mixing conduit (24) having a first inlet (24A) for receiving a pressurized beverage defining a first alcoholic percentage and a second inlet (26) for receiving an additive defining a second alcoholic percentage. The mixing conduit (24) further having an outlet (18) for supplying a mixed alcoholic beverage product constituting a mixture of the beverage and the additive. The font (10) further comprising a control unit (38) for receiving a parameter representing a specific alcoholic percentage or a specific concentration of the additive relative to the mixed alcoholic beverage. The control unit (38) being capable of causing the additive to flow from the second inlet (26) to the mixing conduit for generating a flow of the mixed alcoholic beverage defining the specific alcoholic percentage or the specific concentration of the additive relative to the mixed alcoholic beverage through the outlet (18).

A cold plate includes a cold plate body. A tubing system is embedded within the cold plate body. The tubing system includes a prechill circuit, a plain water postchill circuit fluidly connected to the prechill circuit, and a carbonated water postchill circuit fluidly connected to the prechill circuit.

The present application describes a product dispenser. The product dispenser may include at least one macro-ingredient source, at least one micro-ingredient source positioned about the dispenser, a diluent source, a dispensing valve, a number of pumps or metering devices, and a user interface. The user interface receives a request for a product type and instructs the pumps or metering devices to dispense a predetermined type and ratio of macro-ingredients, micro-ingredients, and diluent to the dispensing valve for a predetermined flow rate.

Among other things, beverages are dispensed from one or more beverage dispensers based on selections made by users. Information about the dispensing of the beverages is sent to a central server where it is used to manage a variety of functions including replacement of depleted supplies of components. Various features of the beverage dispensers enable the beverages that are dispensed to be uniform and appealing to users.
