Published purpose
Dispension developed an unattended adult-beverage dispensing technology which identifies and age-gates a user before providing service. Four preliminary “SmartServ” prototypes were deployed as a pilot project at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles during the 2022 MLB All Star Game and Home Run Derby in July. The purpose of this project is to conduct the necessary experimentation, modifications and testing that will allow Dispension to improve the prototype technology to a commercial-ready state.
