Abstract
Abstract A preferably circular tray contains a plurality of circumferentially spaced openings which may receive tapered beverage cups and the like and support the same in a stable manner. A central upstanding handle allows carrying of the tray or holder in a balanced condition. Spaced depending legs on the tray are of a length to support the device on a level surface with the bottoms of the cups elevated from such surface. The upper surface of the tray has a velvetized finish to accept writing adjacent to the cup-receiving openings so that the beverage orders of individuals may be noted.
