Refund cup deposits with a tap, not a cash float.
Guests tap the card they paid with. Cup Return finds every deposit on that card and refunds it on the spot, so there are no tokens, no cash and no line at the end of the night.
Pricing is per event, in US dollars. We quote for your show.
What Cup Return does
Tap to refund
The guest taps the same card at a return point. The deposit goes back to the card in seconds, no receipt needed.
No tokens, no cash
Nothing to hand out, count or reconcile. Deposits stay in Square until they are refunded.
Several deposits, one tap
Bought four drinks? One tap returns all four deposits, or only the cups handed back.
Reconciled by morning
Every deposit and refund is matched in Pulse Console, bar by bar, so the cup scheme closes with the bars.
How it works on show day
Add the deposit to your Square menu
The deposit rides on every drink sale as a modifier. Nothing changes for bar staff.
Set up return points
A card reader and a phone at each exit or bar. We supply and support them.
Guests tap, we refund
Each tap finds the deposits on that card and refunds them on the spot.
