DRINKBOX / ENGINEERING BRIEF / 2026
Both configurations share engineering, cloud and data. Across markets, the fleet uses the same recipes, the same data model and the same global commands.
A load cell weighs every ingredient as it enters the cup. Tolerance is ±1% per ingredient, independent of viscosity or temperature. Weight-based measurement replaces timed volumetric dosing, eliminating variation caused by temperature-driven viscosity changes.
Peristaltic pumps move spirits, syrups and bitters. Pressurized gas lines move carbonated mixers. Each ingredient class follows a circuit matched to its behavior.
DrinkBox injects nitrogen instead of shaking mechanically. The process creates a creamy, micro-aerated texture like a hand-shaken cocktail. It applies the principle used in Guinness and nitro cold brew to mixology.
Cellular connectivity avoids dependence on venue Wi-Fi, with GPS asset tracking built in. Machines connect wherever deployed and report to a single global fleet.
A recipe authored once can be sent in a single action to every machine carrying the required ingredients. A brand-approved cocktail reaches pour points without venue visits or operator retraining.
External events can trigger live prices and promotions across the fleet. For example, every machine in Brazil can reduce Caipirinha prices by 10% when Brazil scores. The network also acts as a brand-controlled marketing surface.
