Systems and methods for analysis of beverage dispensing data

A system for analyzing dispensed beverages at a beverage dispensing facility, the system comprising:

• at least one beverage dispensing sensor for generating signals indicative of dispensing of one or more beverages, wherein each of a plurality of beverage dispensing facilities has the at least one beverage dispensing sensor;
• a plurality of first hardware processors, each processor in electrical communication with the dispensing sensors installed within each beverage dispensing facility, the first processors programmed for converting the generated signals into a form suitable for transmission over a network;
• a plurality of network interfaces for transmitting the signals over a communication network, each interface in electrical communication with each of the first processors;
• a second hardware processor in electrical communication with the communication network for receiving the signals sent from the first processors;
• a non-transitory memory having stored thereon program modules for instruction execution by the second hardware processor, comprising:
• a module for analyzing the generated signals to generate statistical data indicative of consumption of the one or more beverages at the plurality of facilities.

A computer-implemented method of scoring beverage dispensing facilities, the method being carried out by a beverage dispensing analysis unit programmed to carry out the steps of the method, which comprise:

• receiving signals indicative of beverage dispensing at a plurality of beverage dispensing facilities from at least one beverage dispensing sensor which monitors the plurality of beverage dispensing facilities and generates the signals;
• automatically analyzing the signals for calculating a statistical pattern of beverage consumption at the at least one beverage dispensing facility;
• automatically generating scores for each of the plurality of beverage dispensing facilities according to the statistical pattern;
• and
• selecting for presentation the generated scores.
