This principle is designed to reduce the amount of waste, generated by disposable cups. The food business operator is fully responsible for hygienically flawless processes.

 

Here are some tips on how to handle coffee-to-go cups brought by customers:

 

Customer Cups

  • The customer must remove and store the lid himself
