•  If you've ever been at a crowded bar or a packed party, you have probably waited a long time for a drink.
• One answer to that problem: a new bartender with the generic French name of Monsieur. He's short and squat and not much of a conversationalist, but he'll whip up a Screwdriver for you in a flash.
• The Monsieur is a boxy tabletop device that works like a vending machine for cocktails. 
• Punch in your order on a colorful touchscreen or order from your phone, and the machine will blend liquor with mixers and pour them into your cup. When fully equipped, Monsieur can make up to 300 types of drinks.
• The retail price is $5,000, which doesn't include shipping costs. Commercial customers will pay a one-time setup fee of $1,000 plus $299 per month for a subscription that includes tech support and access to a Web app allowing them to monitor the status of their Monsieur in real time.
