Abstract
Examples of systems and methods are described herein including sensing devices and pairing sensing devices to containers. In some examples, sensing devices may be used to weigh liquid-containing containers. Responsive to changes in weight readings indicative of a change in a container being weighed by a sensing device, a user may be prompted on a user device to associate updated container size and contents with the sensing device. Systems and methods described herein may facilitate accurate inventory management and menu display of liquid available in containers.
