Abstract:
A circular hole large enough to support a variety of beverage containers is formed in a food tray and surrounded by a lip about the height of the lip around the edge of the tray. A flexible mesh is integrated into the hole. The material of the mesh stretches below the food service tray when a beverage container is placed in the hole, and return to a position level with the surface with the food service tray when the beverage container is removed. A semi-mesh embodiment includes a disc of rigid material at the center of the mesh.
