Managing reusable cups?
Smooth as Borro.

Our digital solution takes deposit refunds off your hands.

Scanned,
processed,
refunded.

Automatically.

Stop fraud

Did you know that some event organizers estimate losses due to fraudulent activities involving reusable cups to exceed €50,000 per year? Fraud prevention has become a major concern in recent years. But with most of the current systems, malicious visitors can steal abandoned cups to recover the deposit. Borro solves this by assigning value to a cup only after its QR code has been scanned, ensuring refunds go exclusively to those who paid the deposit. It’s that easy.

Save on transaction costs

If you’ve worked with a deposit-refund system before, you probably know that transaction fees are still common when refunding deposits. A bit unfair, isn’t it? That’s why Borro has developed a digital solution that eliminates extra transaction costs for each refund. Yes, you’ve read that right. No fees, no worries.

Reduce personnel costs

Reusable cups are logistically more complex than disposable ones. We understand that. But it doesn’t mean you have to add insult to injury by using systems that inevitably make you spend more on additional staff, only to process refunds. Thanks to its automated return stations, Borro helps reduce staffing needs, ease pressure at the bar, and streamline post-event logistics by sorting returns more efficiently.

Improve visitor experience

Ok, so, risk management, money, and logistics are covered. But what about the experience? With its automated deposit-refund system, Borro reduces waiting lines and removes the need for a special app, creating a smooth experience for visitors. In other words, it encourages them to return to the bar more frequently.
