System and method for monitoring beverage dispenser

A method of controlling beverage quality comprising:

• detecting, with a beverage dispenser monitoring unit comprising a plurality of weight sensors each positioned below one of a plurality of syrup containers connected to a beverage dispenser, a low weight reading from a weight sensor of the plurality of weight sensors;
• turning on a first network adapter of the beverage dispenser monitoring unit and communicatively coupling with a second network adapter of a control unit in response to the low weight reading;
• determining, with a control circuit of the control unit, a syrup container of the plurality of syrup containers associated with the weight sensor;
• providing, from the control unit, a notification of low syrup level indicating the syrup container to at least one of a plurality of user interface devices via the second network adapter.

An apparatus for controlling beverage quality comprising:

• a non-transitory storage medium storing a set of computer readable instructions;
• and
• a control circuit configured to execute the set of computer readable instructions which cause to the control circuit to:
• communicatively couple, via a second network adapter, with a first network adapter a beverage dispenser monitoring unit comprising a plurality of weight sensors each positioned below one of a plurality of syrup containers connected to a beverage dispenser, wherein the first network adapter is configured to turn on in response to a detection of a low weight reading from at least one of the plurality of weight sensors;
• detect, with the control circuit, a low weight reading from a weight sensor of the plurality of weight sensors of the beverage dispenser monitoring unit via the second network adapter;
• determine a syrup container of the plurality of syrup containers associated with the weight sensor;
• and
• provide a notification of low syrup level indicating the syrup container to at least one of a plurality of user interface devices via the second network adapter.
