Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system and method for QR code validation and tracking of beverage dispensing. The system comprises a POS device and a server, wherein the POS device is in communication with the server. The POS device transfers a customer order to the server, and the server reviews the customer order for at least one target item. If at least one target item is found, the server generates a QR code and transfers the QR code to a code display device. The code display device displays the QR code such that a customer may scan the QR code with a customer device.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a touchless valve device including an emitter configured to emit an emission. The device includes a receiver configured to detect the emission. The receiver is positioned within an emission path of the emitter. The receiver is configured to, upon detection of the emission by the receiver, the receiver generates a first signal. The receiver is configured to generate a second signal when the receiver does not detect the emission. The receiver is configured to transmit the first signal and/or the second signal to a processor that controls a valve.

Abstract: An arcade game includes a rotating and tilting prize receptacle for rotating captured prizes past an RFID antenna and dumping captured prizes back into the playing area. To improve the accuracy of reading RFID tags on the prizes, the receptacle spins to pass the captured prizes past the antenna multiple times. Each RFID tag may be assigned a serial number that is read by the RFID reader to assure that captured prizes are not counted multiple times. After the RFID tags have been read, the receptacle is tilted, preferably while still spinning, to dump the prizes back into the playing area. The captured-prize handling apparatus may include a lighted tower that surrounds the electro-mechanical elements and attracts attention to the game. The receptacle is shaped to urge the captured prizes into a position within the receptacle that enhances accurate reading of the RFID tags.
