A beverage dispensing system includes serving spouts in fluid connection
with inlet pipes locatable within beverage receptacles. The serving
spouts have receptacle identifiers and are associated with prices/price
groups or points/points groups. Product data sets in computer memory
include a product identifier and have associated receptacle identifiers
and prices or points. A reading device calculates value from a stored
value device. Stored value device data sets in computer memory include
stored value device identifiers and stored values. A user selection
component obtains a serving spout selection, and dispenses a volume of
beverage from the selected serving spout by comparing the prices or
points associated with the selected serving spout and the stored value.
User data sets and transaction data sets in computer memory include user
identifiers, stored value device identifiers, stored value device
identifiers, and receptacle identifiers.
