A system comprising:

• a fuel dispenser including a display screen, an image sensor, and at least one data processor operatively connected to the display screen and the image sensor and configured to receive data characterizing an image from the image sensor, the image including a visual depiction of a customer, and to determine identity information characterizing an identity of the customer from the received data;
• and
• a server operatively connected to the at least one data processor and configured to:
• receive the determined identity information from the at least one data processor,
• determine a unique identifier associated with the customer,
• retrieve a user profile associated with the unique identifier, the user profile including fueling preferences of the customer, and
• provide the user profile to the at least one data processor of the fuel dispenser, wherein the at least one data processor of the fuel dispenser is configured to determine a preference selection screen based on the fueling preferences and to provide the preference selection screen to the display screen for viewing by the customer, and wherein the preference selection screen includes a personalized greeting based on the user profile.

A system comprising:

• at least one data processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions configured to cause the at least one data processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving identity information characterizing an identity of a customer, the identity information determined from data characterizing an image, the image acquired by an image sensor and characterizing a visual depiction of the customer;
• determining whether the identity information matches a feature associated with unique identifiers of fuel dispencer users;
• determining whether the unique identifier associated with the feature matches one or more unique identifiers associated with one or more user profiles characterizing the fuel dispenser users;
• in response to determining that the unique identifier matches a unique identifier associated with one or more of the user profiles;
• and
• providing the user profile to a fuel dispenser data processor;
• wherein the user profile includes fueling preferences of the customer, wherein the fuel dispenser data processor is configured to determine a fueling preferences screen based on the fueling preferences and to provide the fueling preferences screen to a display screen of the fuel dispenser for viewing by the person.
