System and method for robotic, compact, mobile beverage station

A beverage station, comprising:

• a beverage-station base unit having movable walls configured to be deployed to form a platform surrounding the beverage-station base unit when deployed and containing contents of the beverage-station base unit when not deployed in use;
• a robotic beverage serving device disposed in the beverage-station base unit having a processor for controlling one or more robotic actuators for making and serving one or more beverages;
• and
• an input module communicatively coupled to a computer network and configured to receive one or more orders for one or more beverages from a remote computing device that is also communicatively coupled to the computer network;
• wherein the robotic beverage serving device comprises a first configuration optimized for use with beverages commonly ordered during morning time and comprises a second configuration for use with beverages commonly ordered during evening time.

A system, comprising:

• a computer network having one or more computing devices wirelessly communicating through the computer network;
• one or more mobile computing device communicatively coupled to the computer network;
• and
• a beverage station, including,
• a beverage-station base unit having movable walls configured to be deployed to form a platform surrounding the beverage-station base unit when deployed and containing contents of the beverage-station base unit when not deployed in use;
• a robotic beverage serving device disposed in the beverage-station base unit having a processor for controlling one or more robotic actuators for making and serving one or more beverages;
• and
• an input module communicatively coupled to the computer network and configured to receive one or more orders for one or more beverages from the one or more mobile computing devices;
• and
• a server computer communicatively coupled to the computer network and configured to coordinate a financial transaction in response to serving the one or more beverages ordered;
• wherein an order received at the input module causes the robotic beverage serving device to make and serve a beverage corresponding to the one or more orders.
