Pret a Manger has launched a monthly subscription service offering up to five drinks a day for £20 a month.
The coffee and sandwich chain's subscription service could mean that you get coffee for as little as 13.3p a cup.
Pret a Manger will be hoping that the service will increase customer numbers after low footfall in city centres saw it axe 2,800 roles last week.
Here’s what you need to know:
How does it work?
Customers can subscribe at your.pret.co.uk or can be guided through QR codes available in every Pret store nationwide.
How many coffees can I get?
You can only redeem your subscription for one Eligible Product every 30 minutes up to a maximum of 5 Eligible Products per day.
Can I get any coffee?
The offer will cover all barista-made coffees as well as teas, hot chocolates, smoothies and frappe drinks.
How much will it cost?
It will cost £20 per month and your first month will be free.
Am I able to cancel at any time?
You can cancel your subscription at any time. The cancellation will be effective from the end of the subscription month in which you cancel.
When does it start?
It will officially launch on Tuesday 8 September.
What have Pret said?
Briony Raven, UK Food & Coffee Director at Pret, said:
"Subscription services like Netflix and Spotify have played a big part in keeping us positive throughout lockdown and after seeing on social media how excited customers were to be reunited with their favourite Pret drinks, we’ve been inspired to launch our own - in a very Pret way.
"Not only is YourPret Barista incredible value and something that has not been done in the UK before, it’s also a chance to enjoy and celebrate the huge range of drinks our expert baristas offer every day.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
