Abstract
A liquid dispensation framework is described for dispensing liquid. A serving station may include one or more liquid containing devices, one or more taps, a data processor, a payment module, a monitoring module, and a cabinet with a lock. The serving station may be configured to determine an identity of a user and whether the user is authorized to withdraw liquid. If the serving station determines that the user is authorized to withdraw liquid, the amount or volume of liquid dispensed may be controlled, and an account associated with the user (or another) may be charged based on the amount or volume of liquid dispensed.
