Salt & Straw

Small SF Coffee Shops Join Starbucks-Backed Reusable Cup Pilot | Eater SF

"Also in Hayes Valley, Salt and Straw's location at 586 Hayes Street is participating in Muuse's limited pilot, which requires customers who borrow 12- or 16‑oz Muuse cups to scan the QR code in the app, return the cup within five days to avoid a $15 fee, and rewards them with a $0.25 discount; the cups are double-walled stainless steel with reusable plastic tops manufactured in Shenzhen. Because of accessibility concerns, this shop will continue offering paper cups during the trial, which runs for one month as Muuse—after launching in Asia in 2018—tests demand and seeks to scale the program." - Eve Batey
