Automatic Bartenders

The Foxtender is an Alcohol Vending Machine with a Compatible Payment App

— August 14, 2015 — Tech
'Young Fox' created the Foxtender, which is a unique alcohol vending machine that will eliminate lines at the bar. This professional cocktail dispenser works with a compatible app that allows consumers to pay directly via smartphones.

The machine uses electricity to create beverages, but it does not need to be plugged into an outlet. This allows the alcohol vending machine to be set up in any location at any time. A few key features of the cordless machine include its ability to provide 400 drinks before being refilled. It can also receive an order and create a drink in roughly 16 seconds.

In addition to paying with the smartphone app, there is also a GPS locator built in that will guide users to the closest Foxtender. The ultimate goal for this vending machine-like product is to create a simpler and easier way for consumers to purchase alcohol at bars.
Trend Themes
1. Cordless Beverage Dispensers - Introducing cordless and electricity-free automatic bartenders which can offer consumers a hassle-free bar experience.
2. App-based Payment Solutions - Creating app-based payment solutions that streamline the beverage purchase process and reduce wait times at crowded bars.
3. Smart Beverage Dispensers - Developing innovative and intelligent beverage dispensers that use GPS to locate the nearest vending machine, accept app payments, and automatically create drinks in seconds.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - Offering hospitality businesses the opportunity to provide faster and more convenient beverage services while reducing staff costs with automatic beverage dispensers.
2. Technology - Developing app-based payment solutions and cordless beverage dispensers that can be integrated with other technology platforms and applications.
3. Retail - Incorporating smart beverage dispensers into retail environments such as grocery stores that could provide customers with a new, innovative, and convenient way to purchase drinks.
