Zusammenfassung:	A system and method are provided for managing product usage by users prior to refill of product dispensers in service areas, such as public toilet facilities, that include a plurality of such dispensers. Via a sensor configured with each of the product dispensers and a control system in communication with the sensors, a product level or amount condition of product in each dispenser is detected. Based on the information from the sensors, a visual or audio message is generated and transmitted to the patron that encourages the patron to use a first product dispenser that has a greater product fill amount as compared to a second product dispenser in the same or a different service area. Also claimed is a method including dispensers located in separate restrooms, wherein a user is encouraged to use a second restroom if a dispenser is a first restroom has a lower level than a dispenser in the second.
