The Table Tender: Beer on Tap at Your Pace

The Table Tender is a beer dispensing system that’s built into a table which allows bar patrons to serve themselves without worrying about lines or even leaving their seats.  Similar to Minibar, a nightclub in Amsterdam that allows you to serve yourself, the Table Tender allows patrons to avoid the hassle of waiting for the attention of the bartender.

The system, which requires custom installation from Table Tap, can be designed to the specifications of each bar or restaurant and can dispense any number of beverages, though beer seems the obvious choice.  The Table Tender keeps track of how much beer is consumed and cuts the table off after 11 pints to prevent abuse, though it can easily be reset but a circulating employee.  The bar tab is automatically generated and limits the need/possbilities for human interaction at a bar.
