They tray will insulate customers hands from heat of cups negating the use of extra insulated cups, sleeves, double cupping or napkins.
If a client is currently not using cup carry trays, they will have a queue of people all buying one cup each, as they will not want to struggle back to there office with more than one cup. Once cup carry trays are introduced, they will be happy to ask friends and colleagues if they would like a drink from the coffee shop, this will result in a shorter queue, and spend per head will be increased.
Some coffee shops will put a single cup purchase in a two cup carry tray, this will negate the use of extra insulated cups, sleeves, double cupping or napkins, but also get the customer thinking about buying drinks for colleagues. When a customer is ordering 2 drinks, they will use a 4 cup carry tray, again sending the message that they could have purchased more without any difficulty.
These concepts work for coffee shops like Starbucks, fast food outlets like McDonald's, and Stadia catering
The 4 cup carry tray makes a very stable base for transporting drinks saving the drink tipping over when travelling.
Cup Carry Trays, come in a number of permutations, but the most common is the two and 4 cup carry tray in moulded pulp.
This item is used at outside music concerts to enable concert goers to take more drinks away with them, cup carry trays are suitable for both 1/2 pint and pint disposable glasses / paper cups.
Stadia catering will also benefit from two and 4 cup carry trays, allowing customers to return to there seats with sufficient drinks for 4 people.
Although the moulded pulp cup carry tray is not very presentable it is highly practical and economical, and although there are many alternatives, they all seem to have some draw backs. If they had no draw backs, McDonald's, KFC, Starbucks would not have adopted them.
