Zusammenfassung:	An automated dispensing system that releases a selected quantity of an edible or non-edible bulk product is provided. Using a digital interface or a dispense button, consumers select a specified amount of bulk product to be dispensed (by weight, mass, or cost). The product is then dispensed into a receptable container and the system calculates the quantity and corresponding cost that was dispensed into the receptable container. Using a unique identification key system, consumers can activate the automatic dispensing system. The unique identification key is used to track and store the user's dispensed bulk products. This information is uploaded to a database that is later called upon at the time of checkout to tabulate the users total cost of dispensed bulk products. The system can also update an inventory database of the bulk products.
