Unify multiple cafés under one simple system
No confusion, no competing processes — everyone uses the same cups and pods. Join together and support your business community.
Improve the customer experience
A consistent and repeatable experience wherever they go in the precinct. Cercle tech without apps improves uptake and reduces customer barriers to use and enjoy.
Support cleaner & operator workflows
Drop Pods are designed for fast collection, removable and reusable sleeves and easy servicing. With several cleaning contractors already using our service, we continue to refine processes and tech to improve operations.
Demonstrate visible sustainability leadership
High-impact initiatives with active use, that can be branded to your precinct make circularity an active choice and part of your precinct identity.
Track real impact
Precincts can see how many cups have been reused, how much waste has been avoided and how much waste has been reduced — with simple, top-line reporting. Dashboards can be displayed throughout a precinct to inspire and further encourage use.
What could your precinct activation achieve in a year?
View impact calculations
Impact calculations displayed are conservative. This calculator is based on staff using only 1 x reusable per day, and the impact of replacing 1 x 12oz single-use cup and lid as the conversion. Actual precinct impacts may be much higher. Cercle tools can calculate your specific impact and important reuse metrics such as return rates and use cycles, to produce your Impact Report. Conversions and calculation formulas can be provided on request.
How Cercle works in a Precinct
Cercle integrates into any large, multi-vendor environment using a combination of smart products and streamlined processes.
Easy implementation
Cercle provides all products, signage, placement support, processes and training for cafés and cleaners
Premium experience
Customers enjoy their drink and food in premium reusables, and both use and return anywhere.
Venues focus on service
Venues serve in reusables with minimal disruption. Optional Cercle Reserve tech for deposit-free charge in open systems, with no Apps or complex tech/integration burdens.
“Drop It” – Simple collections
Return cups to any designer Drop Pod, Smart Pod or designated return point — no need to return to the original location.
“Do it Again”
Simple, repeatable behaviour, high adoption, zero waste.
Cleaning and returning reusables
Cleaning staff empty internal tubes or sleeves and consolidate cups for cleaning. Use existing commercial dishwashers on-site, or Cercle Social’s off-site wash hub (Sydney Metro). Clean cups are redistributed to venues and the “Cercle” repeats!
