    Abstract: A beverage dispenser includes an outlet for dispensing beverages and a tray for supporting a container underneath the outlet. An ultraviolet light source is directed at the outlet for disinfecting the outlet. A light source illuminates a path of a beverage between the outlet and the tray. Exterior lights are mounted on an exterior of the dispenser. A cradle secures an appliance module to the dispenser and includes an interface for communication of data or power between the appliance module and the dispenser. A bottle storage cabinet may be formed underneath the dispensing bay for storing a bottle. The storage cabinet includes a door for opening and closing the cabinet, a movable trolley for supporting and moving the bottles and a hinged ramp to facilitate entry and exit of the trolley into and out of the cabinet. Alternatively, for counter top applications, a built-in mover is formed underneath the dispenser to facilitate easy movement of the dispenser.
