Billing is done on a monthly basis.
A Tiffin Loop partner location only has to pay for Tiffin Loop under the premise that a food or beverage has been served to the guest in a Tiffin.
Per serving of a Tiffin Bowl 0.25€ net is charged, for the Tiffin Cup 0.15€ net.
The partner location does not have to make any advance payments or pay any start-up costs.

Once the contract is signed, you will receive your Tiffins. In addition, you will receive a starter kit with information for you and your employees and marketing material so that you can draw your guests’ attention to Tiffin Loop. We will also promote your restaurant on our social media channels!
Now you can get started and control the process with the app: Tiffin inventory of your gastronomy in real time, manage your restaurant profile or order Tiffin container supplies – we support you fully and uncomplicatedly in establishing the Tiffin Loop reusable system.

Would your customers like to do without disposable packaging and use Tiffin Loop? No problem! Our system is very simple: To use it, you and your customers need to download the Tiffin Loop app. When borrowing, the QR code shown in the app is shown to the customer and scanned by you. This gives you an overview of where your tiffins are and when they were borrowed. If the customer returns a tiffin that has been rinsed out, they scan themselves back into the system. Then the loop starts all over again and they can immediately take another meal in a new, cleaned Tiffin.
Prerequisites: The partner location needs an end device to use the Tiffin Loop app for Android or iOS, as well as an internet connection. After successful registration & activation, you can start right away. General terms & conditions of use are contractually regulated & signed by both parties. Tiffin Loop then supplies the partner location with an individual starter kit consisting of advertising materials, a stock of Tiffin Cards for sale to customers, and an agreed number and type of Tiffins. Optional removable dividers for the Tiffin Regular are included.”

There are no further ongoing costs – neither basic fee nor start-up costs, nor does the partner location have to pay in advance.

The minimum contract period is three months. Your partnership with us is always extended by another month if you do not cancel at the end of the month. The cancellation period is one month.
In order to comply with all hygiene regulations, a dishwashing facility is absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, you cannot become a Tiffin Loop Partner without one.
The partner location takes a final inventory & then sends, by mail, the remaining Tiffins, the accessories, if applicable also terminals with accessories, as well as the promotional materials to Tiffin Loop. After reviewing the returns, a final invoice will be sent to the partner location, if applicable.
No. We made a conscious decision not to offer co-branding because we want to create a large, equal movement, and we want it to be possible to return Tiffins to other restaurants.
Every contribution counts. Therefore, you can of course offer the Tiffins parallel to the disposable packaging. Please keep in mind, however, that there is a minimum purchase of ten boxes. Of course, you can increase the number of boxes at any time.
There are no costs for your customers when using the app. At the latest when a Tiffin is borrowed for the first time, a Paypal account must be linked. Only if Tiffins are borrowed & not returned within the agreed return period of 14 days, at one of the Tiffin Loop partner locations, costs are incurred.
With the expiration of the return period, 20,00 € per Tiffin will be charged, but at the same time a lifelong right of use for one Tiffin will be granted. This loan period expires – forever!
Tiffin forever! Of course, your customers can make as many Tiffin as they want their own. In this way, the system can continue to be used “without notice” as desired.
Yes, you can clean our Tiffins in a gastro or normal dishwasher without any problems. We recommend a dry rub after the rinse cycle.
Please clean the Tiffins once very thoroughly in your dishwasher before you give them out to your customers for the first time. Due to the production and transport of the Tiffins, dust or other residues may have accumulated in the Tiffins.
In this case, you can easily reorder your desired number of Tiffins at any time – we will pay the shipping costs twice a year.
It’s great that you inform your customers so diligently about Tiffin Loop! When your flyers are used up, you can easily order new flyers via the app in the support area. They will then be sent directly to you.
Sure, but please only in connection with a direct report about Tiffin Loop and a reference to us. By the way, we would be very happy if you send us a link or a voucher copy. Texts & pictures about Tiffin Loop can be found at www.tiffinloop.de/presse.
You do not have to take back a Tiffin that has been damaged due to gross negligence. This would be the case, for example, if the box has very large dents and it is therefore no longer closable or if the lid has been lost. Smaller dents or scratches that do not affect the functionality are normal signs of use and are okay.
When the handles or closures are no longer present or are defective, or there is an obvious material defect, such as cracks in the box.
You can return the defective Tiffins to us free of charge. Then we repair the Tiffins and they go back into the loop – recycling at 100 percent!
Our tiffins are made of 100% stainless steel. If the box is not defective due to a material defect, but due to improper handling, you can either return the Tiffins to us at your own expense. We will take care of the proper disposal. Or you can simply take them to a materials depot that also accepts scrap metal.
Customers should return the tiffins rinsed out. However, you must clean them again for hygienic reasons. You can refuse to take back heavily soiled tiffins, i.e. tiffins that have mold on them, for example.
No. The tiffins cannot be sold to customers, as they are part of the loop and serve as a reusable solution.
Currently, Tiffin Loop does not offer reusable cutlery. But our partner company ECO Brotbox (link to the spork: https://ecobrotbox.de/shop/praktische-helfer/36/eco-spork ) offers for example this spork and many more plastic-free products made of stainless steel. Click your way through!
We decided against using a sealing ring for several reasons. One of the main reasons was that when filling hot food and using a sealing ring, there can be a vacuum that makes it much more difficult to open the box. And since we don’t want you to be unable to get to your delicious lunch or dinner, the Tiffins are only available without a sealing ring.
Currently, the Tiffin is only available in one size and shape: Round, holds about 1.2 liters of volume, with lid, clamps and a carrying handle. If the box does not fit for your take away menu, you are welcome to tell us your wishes for possible following models.
No. If you are temporarily not participating in the Tiffin Loop, write us a short message so that we can arrange everything else together with you. Through the “pay per use” model, there are no ongoing costs for a Tiffin Loop partner location, but we still want to make sure that the Tiffins keep moving and are available to the Loop.
