I'm an office experience consultant at a fast growing, venture-funded startup that you've more than likely heard of. Right now I am managing the Caffeine Portfolio and am using arduinos at each coffee pot (http://www.deferredprocrastination.co.uk/blog/2013/coffeebot-monitoring-with-arduino/ http://www.deferredprocrastination.co.uk/blog/2013/coffeebot...) in order to monitor the quantity. I wired these up to a node.js backend which will take the quantities of each pot and check them against a threshold. I track and visualize these changes using CoffeeScript, d3.js and HTML5 canvas. If the coffee pot quantity is below a certain threshold, I have the node.js call out to our Rails-backed RESTful API which sends messages through our RabbitMQ setup to asynchronously dispatch a TaskRabbit so someone can come and fill it up. Edit: I also a bit of Perl to glue it all together and store the stats in an MS Access cloudstore.
