5.2 Hotel breakfast

Many hotel, B&B, have machine used in morning to prepare and serve hot and cold beverages.

These machines many times do not have payment systems, and selections are free, being paid as an hotel service.

The machines are normally table top, and many of them have a graphical user interface. The user interface is used mainly to select the product to prepare. The machines are typically not connected.

Making these machines modular will enable large ( and small ) hotel chain to handle the use interface independently for the details of the internal operation of the delivery process.

Even if payment is not typically added, the modular approach enables to easily add different payment devices of needed, including the hotel contactless key used by the customer to enter the room. If the machine is also connected, the standardization of the exchanged data ( Audit ) will enable to automatic calculation of customer recipes, if the delivered product must be paid, for example, when product is taken after the morning breakfast time window.
