SMART BINS
Free to use. Simple to return.
Cups are linked at the till. SmartBin handles the returns.
Seemless returns at the SmartBin.
The issuing device links cups to a card authorisation. A temporary hold equivalent to the deposit is made on the card but card is not charged. The SmartBin identifies returned cups automatically. When a cup is returned within the agreed period (for example 3 days), the authorisation is released rather than captured.
Alternatively, if a customer decides to keep their cup-the hold amount is captured after the agreed period.
Return periods and non-return charges are agreed with venue.
THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY
01
Issue & authorise
Staff link cups using the issuing device. The customer taps a card to authorise borrowing.
02
Use the cup
Enjoy the drink and use the cups around your venue.
03
Return in time
Drop the cup into a Smart Bin within the agreed period. No app or card tap is needed at return.
The connection starts at the till.
Our issuing device identifies smart cups before the card authorisation. Each cup can then be recognised at a return point.
