The invention relates to an arrangement for serving beverage packagings (10), the arrangement comprising at least a storage chamber (120) for storing beverage packagings (10), a support element (210) with an upper surface, and a lifting unit (110) for lifting beverage packagings from the storage chamber. The lifting unit has an upper position and a lower position, wherein the lifting unit (110) is adapted to be lifted between said upper and lower positions manually by the user of the arrangement (100). The lifting unit (110) is arranged to lift a beverage packaging (10) from the storage chamber (120) onto said upper surface of the support element (210) when the lifting unit (110) is lifted from said lower position into said upper position. The lifting unit (110) has an inclined surface top (112) which is adapted to receive a beverage packaging (10) from said storage chamber (120) when the lifting unit (110) is in said lower position, wherein the beverage packaging (10) on said inclined surface top (112) is able to roll, driven by the inclination of said inclined surface top, onto the upper surface of the support element (210) when the lifting unit is in said upper position. The arrangement (100) includes a front wall (111) extending downwards from the inclined surface top (112) of the lifting unit, the front wall being dimensioned to extend, when the lifting unit (110) is in the lifted-up position, at least partially in front of the beverage packagings (10) in the storage chamber (120), forming a retainer part to retain the beverage packagings (10) in place in the storage chamber (120), until the lifting unit (110) is lowered back down into the position receiving a beverage packaging.

Disclosed are embodiments of cup dispensers that can accommodate a variety of different cup sizes, cup shapes, and/or cup materials without the need for manual adjustment. In some embodiments, the cup dispenser can automatically adjust the applied pressure via fingers/blocks on one or more contact points on a cup among an inserted sleeve of cups. In some embodiments, sets of blocks can be placed at varying depths. In some embodiments, one set of blocks can hold the cup currently being dispensed while another set of blocks can hold the next cup in the sleeve in place, for example.

A decorative mount includes at least a frame, a retainer trim, and a removal mechanism. The frame includes a base, a sidewall extending from a front surface of the base, and a pair of slots defined on opposing sides of an inner surface of the sidewall and spaced away from the base. The retainer trim includes an inner edge and an outer edge. The inner edge defines an opening and a pair of trim tabs extend from opposing sides of the outer edge. The trim tabs fit within the pair of slots, releasably retaining the retainer trim to the frame. The removal mechanism includes a support base disposed against the base of the frame, a lever arm including a first end and a second end, and a pivot pivotably coupling the lever arm to the support base.

A dish cart includes a top with a slot for receiving a lift arm that may be lifted up through the slot to raise or lower dishes. Lobe openings emanating from the slot receive lobes of a lift paddle secured to the lift arm. The cart may define a gap below the top for permitting insertion of the lift paddle and the lift arm. The cart may be adjusted to receive differently sized dishes by means of rails of different sizes or adjustable vanes. A dish drop station includes the lift arm and lift paddle and a lift mechanism for raising and lower the lift arm. The dish drop station may include a cart present sensor and include a lock for retaining the cart. The controller may be programmed to the lower the lift arm to an unlock position that disengages the cart lock.
