URC, CEProVIP Party at CEDIA 09 with Self-Serve Beer Tap

Party venue is the country's first bar with "Table Tender" self-serve draft

Universal Remote Control is showing off some great new technology at CEDIA Expo 2009.

No, not the MX-5000 universal remote with haptic technology, and not the MX-880z ZigBee two-way remote.

URC, along with CEProVIP, is inviting dealers to experience TableTender, apparently the country's first self-serve beer tap for restaurants:

Taps boasting two beer spouts are built into tables dotting Atlanta's swanky STATS sports bar. Each is hooked into a cooler of kegs in the bar's basement through a network of tubes and pipes.

To fly with state officials, serve-yourself beer had to include some built-in deterrents.

A waitress must first check IDs before turning on the tap. When the digital ticker counting each ounce hits 180 - or about three pitchers - the taps shut off until a server comes by to check on the table. Bigger parties keep servers running back and forth fairly often, while it's rarer for smaller groups to hit the limit.



Details:

Thursday, September 10th, 6pm - 9pm
STATS Sports Bar
300 Marietta St NW
Admission by limited edition wristband only
Please RSVP to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
(You can pick up your wristband at URC’s booth #1443 on Thursday, 9/10)
Games, Prizes, Battle of the Bands & More.
