7. The modular dispensing unit as claimed in claim 6, wherein the first spotlight (68) and the second spotlight (69) are recessed in the top wall (7).
8. The modular dispensing unit as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a motion detector that activates the first spotlight (68) above the first beverage dispenser (11) based on the presence of a user in front of the first beverage dispenser (11).
9. The modular dispensing unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ice dispenser housing (14) is attached to a wall of a venue when the modular dispensing unit (1) is installed in the venue.
10. The modular dispensing unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ice dispenser housing (14) is the same or similar color as a wall of a venue when the modular dispensing unit (1) is installed adjacent to or embedded in the wall of the venue.
11. The modular dispensing unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the back side (4) comprises aback wall (15), and the back wall (15) is the same or similar color as a wall of a venue when the modular dispensing unit (1) is installed adjacent to or embedded in the wall of the venue.
12. The modular dispensing unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the back side (4) comprises a back wall (15), and the back wall (15) and the ice dispenser housing (14) are of unitary construction.
13. The modular dispensing unit (1) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two housing sidewalls (19,20) and the front wall (21) are of unitary construction; and the two
housing sidewalls (19,20) are attached to a wall of a venue when the modular dispensing unit (1) is installed in the venue.
14. The modular dispensing unit as claimed in claim 13, wherein the ice dispenser housing (14) does not attach to the ice dispenser (13).
15. The modular dispensing unit as claimed in claim 13, wherein the ice dispenser housing (14) is the same or similar color as a wall of a venue when the modular dispensing unit (1) is installed adjacent to or embedded in the wall of the venue.
16. The modular dispensing unit as claimed in claim 13, wherein the back side (4) comprises a back wall (15), and the back wall (15) and the ice dispenser housing (14) are of unitary construction.
17. The modular dispensing unit (1) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ice dispenser housing (14) is the same or similar color as a wall of a venue when the modular dispensing unit (1) is installed adjacent to or embedded in the wall of the venue; and the bottom wall (41), two sidewalls (5, 6), top wall (7) and ice dispenser housing (14) are of unitary construction.
