Paper Abstract:
|
The main objective of this paper is to describe the different stages of research and development of an electronic device based on the use of open source technology which is the result of the observation of the consumption and sales habits of 600ml beer bottles in Brazil, as well as the relationship between bars/restaurants and their customers. This projectÂ’s goal is to optimize this business, being both commercially attractive and capable of improving its consumption experience. Therefore, the prototype here presented is expected: 1) to warn the staff that the last bottle served to a customer is getting empty, allowing its immediate replacement and consequently reaching a higher level of client satisfaction; 2) to increase the efficiency and profit margin of the bar/restaurant by selling more beer; 3) to add value to the bar/restaurant and the brands associated to the device as a product, due to its technological and innovative nature. |
