Explanation:
I assume it's one of those computerised drink dispensing/billing systems.

The "Boniersoftware" is presumably linked up to one of those big overhead coffee making ranges via an electronic touch screen thingy (like the ones they have at McDonalds). IMO the "Kreditverbund" is something like a "credit link-up". Not very elegant, but there doesn't appear to a lot of pre-existing terminology in this field.

Just looking at Google, I see these things sometimes also have a Debitverbund as well - to debit the various tables in the establishment, I suppose.

You might find some useful terminology at sites like http://www.executouch.com/ or if you look at the Google hits for \"integrated cash register system\".

Explanation:
..seems toe referring to an organization. This may fit. Were these some type of giveaway in a raffle or other contest with a choice of prizes? Credit Unions are a type of bank, here in Canada, at least.
