A beverage dispensing system which lessens confusion and operator time by providing a control switchset with only a small number of selection switches to send encoded signals to an electronic control which decodes the selection data and selects ingredients to be dispensed from more numerous types of ingredients stored remotely. An electronic control regulates the volume dispensed by counting electronic volume related signals sent from each liquid delivery pump shaft as ingredients are dispensed, and stopping that particular delivery pump when a predetermined number of signals have been delivered. Switches are provided to electronically alter the number of counts necessary to stop the delivery pump for one ingredient for one dispensing cycle or for all ingredients for a period of time. The electronic control is capable of storing a first ingredient selection and simultaneously by dispensing a plurality of ingredients upon receiving a second selection.
