What if a customer brings back a damaged cup or lid?

Do I need to give the customer back the same HuskeeCup (colour/size) that they checked in?
We do not require that customers receive the same size or colour HuskeeCup back as the one they checked in.
Just like with single-use cups, customers simply get a HuskeeCup that suits the beverage size they order. There also needs to be a degree of flexibility with colours (charcoal or natural) as cafes are not in control of what colours are swapped in.
If a customer specifically requests the same colour or size, it will be at your discretion which cup you supply.
Right now, the only thing a customer needs to be able to swap is a HuskeeCup and Lid.
How many cups do I need?
To get started as a HuskeeSwap site, you will need to carry a ‘float’ of HuskeeCups to swap with customer cups, as well as HuskeeCups available for your customers to buy. These are our recommendations:
Float stock: the exact float amount can be scaled to suit the needs of your cafe, however, we recommend 12 cups and lids. To facilitate new HuskeeSwap Cafes we have discounted bundles available.
Retail Stock: In addition to the float purchase, you’ll need stock available for retail sale. For a coffee drinker to enter the system, they need to either bring their existing HuskeeCup or buy one from you. We want to make sure all our HuskeeSwap locations have stock ready for sale to ensure any interested coffee drinker can join the system straight away!
The minimum we recommend is 12 retail cup and lid combo boxes to mirror the float and provides a good presence for retail customers.
There are no other associated costs or fees.
Does HuskeeCup effect flavour?
Drinking from a HuskeeCup will not effect the flavour of your beverage.
It is however recommend washing new HuskeeCups twice before first use.
Is HuskeeCup microwave safe?
Huskee has done testing on limited cycles and it is safe to do so.
However repeated use in a microwave is not recommended.
Is HuskeeCup dishwasher friendly?
Yes! HuskeeCup is dishwasher friendly including the cup, lid, seal and saucer. Plus, there are grooves in the base of HuskeeCup that function as channels for liquid to drain instantly after a dishwashing cycle.
What’s the best way to clean and care for HuskeeCups?
HuskeeCups need to be cared for differently than ceramics or glass as they are a much softer material. Please follow the below advice to ensure you have longer-lasting cups.
- Using a damp microfibre cloth with a small amount of detergent can be used to help remove stubborn marks.
- For tough stains or odours, soak HuskeeCup’s in a tub of hot water with 1 tsp of espresso machine cleaner per cup, for 8 hours/overnight.
No. HuskeeCup’s material increases the cup’s thermal retention properties, whilst it’s fins protect your hands from the heat of the drink by minimising the surface area your hands come into contact with!
In short, you get to enjoy hotter coffee for longer!
Please note: You should be careful drinking hot liquid, as the cups can disguise the heat.
