Backbar, a San Diego-based provider of an automated beverage dispensing solution, has introduced a hardware design that uses reliable components to automate the production of complex beverages, with a particular focus on areas where traditional beverage dispensers fall short, such as cocktails, iced coffees, lattes and juices, according to a press release.

The solution allows guests to create a refreshing Moscow mule or an indulgent iced vanilla latte with the same ease as pouring a simple soda or a beer.

The company's flagship product has the capacity to make approximately 350 drinks per hour and is paired with analytical software that can track peak times, beverage popularity, average drink completion time, ingredient levels and more.

The company intends to roll out an AI component to the software that can suggest new beverages with a high probability of increasing revenue, as well as an automatic ingredient ordering functionality.
