Zusammenfassung:	A device for monitoring the dispensing of a soft serve product from a soft serve product dispensing machine has a housing with an open pocket formed in its side wall so that the monitoring device may be mounted on a handle of the product dispensing machine. The device includes electronic circuitry, including an accelerometer, that senses the position of the handle of the product dispensing machine. When the handle is sensed to be in a product dispense position, a timing circuit within the device monitors the time during which a soft serve product is dispensed by the machine. Knowing the flow rate of soft serve product from the dispensing machine, the monitoring device will cause a light emitting diode to illuminate to signal the user of the device to re-position the handle of the product dispensing device in the non-dispensing position.
