Abstract

See full text

Selecting and dispensing multiple brand beverages at a dispenser apparatus from a dispenser may be provided. A first and second user input indicating a beverage and flavor respectively, may be received at a user interface. Where an individual beverage concentrate or flavor has been exhausted a control device may switch to a remaining beverage concentrate or flavor. Furthermore, the control device can output a signal to a user via the user interface. The user interface may indicate a no or low flow condition by highlighting the specific icon, providing a small indication over the specific icon, or other visual indicators in association with a sold-out brand on the user interface. Where the specific beverage concentrate or flavor has been replenished, a sensor may detect a replenished beverage concentrate or flavor. Subsequently, the control device may remove the signal sent to a user via the user interface.
