Where does the vegan mark go on a welcome hamper when the basket is mixed?
Quick answer
The seal speaks for the whole basket. Mark each item in the basket. The seal says vegan only when every item is vegan as packed. Do not let one vegan item stamp the hamper, and do not invent a stay percentage.
Vs other Intelligence guides
| Guide | Job |
|---|---|
| Minibar snack | One wrapped turndown snack. This page is the seal on a basket of several items. |
| Pastry case | The tent card in a cafe case. A cafe gift basket uses this seal rule, not a second slogan. |
| Breakfast desk | The spoken breakfast answer. The hamper is in the room before breakfast. |
| Product inbox | A reply from a published ingredient list. The seal still has to match the items in the basket. |
| Gift reorder | A reorder card at the public price. Not a vegan stamp on the ribbon. |
| Breakfast buffet | Whether breakfast may be called vegan. Not the welcome basket. |
| This guide | Where the vegan mark goes on a welcome hamper when the basket is mixed |
Composite operator guidance. Not legal advice on allergens or EmpCo. Do not treat a worksheet basket count as a typical stay rate.
Three marks. Only the true one ships.
| Mark | When it is true | |
|---|---|---|
| Vegan seal | Every item in that basket is vegan as packed, including wrap and ribbon trim | "Vegan hamper. [Basket name]." |
| Item card only | One item is vegan and another is not | On the vegan item: "Vegan. [Item]." No vegan word on the seal. |
| Not vegan | The guest asks about the basket and it holds cheese, honey, or another animal item | "Not a vegan hamper. Vegan items: [names]." |
Night-team line: "The seal matches the whole basket." If the seal needs a new green word, it waits.
Proof ladder (basket)
| What is true for this basket | The mark may say | The mark freezes |
|---|---|---|
| Every maker note lists no animal ingredient | Vegan on the seal, plus the basket name | "Eco welcome," "plant-forward hamper," "climate-friendly stay" |
| One chocolate is vegan and the cheese is not | Vegan on that chocolate only | A vegan word on the ribbon |
| Honey, cheese, milk chocolate, or a wool wrap is in the basket | Not a vegan hamper, and name the vegan items | "Vegan if you skip the cheese" |
| The guest asks about an allergy | Point to the allergen note | "Vegan means safe for your allergy" |
Seal kit
- List every item on the basket sheet before the room is set. One row per item.
- Read the maker note for each item. A silent jar is not vegan.
- Put the vegan word on the seal only when every row is vegan as packed.
- Card the single vegan item when the basket is mixed. Leave the seal without the word vegan.
- Match the booking page to that seal. A vegan-hamper amenity line with a cheese jar is a mismatch.
- Open one basket with a person who did not pack it. The seal and the items agree.
| Leave out | Why |
|---|---|
| "Vegan hamper" when one item is not | The guest will repeat it. |
| A discount for a clearer seal | The question is about the items. |
| A green slogan on the ribbon | Claims calculator. |
| An allergen answer written as "it is vegan" | The allergen note is a different card. |
Allow vs banned
| Surface | Allow | Kill |
|---|---|---|
| Basket seal | Vegan only when every item is vegan as packed | A vegan seal on a mixed basket |
| Item card | Vegan on the item whose maker note says so | A silent jar called vegan |
| Booking or OTA amenity | The same scope as the seal | A vegan-hamper line the basket does not match |
| Night-team note | Mismatches fixed before the next set | Invented stay percentage |
EmpCo from 27 September 2026 still applies to a green line that also appears on an EU-facing stay page. Do not publish a stay lift for a clearer seal.
10-check basket log (run before the room is set)
Read the maker notes and the basket, not the amenity slogan. Log Y/N.
| # | Check | Pass |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | One row per item in the basket? | Yes. |
| 2 | The word vegan is spelled, not a lone V? | Yes. |
| 3 | Seal says vegan only when every item is vegan as packed? | Yes. |
| 4 | A mixed basket keeps vegan on the item card only? | Yes. |
| 5 | Honey, cheese, milk chocolate, and wool named when present? | Yes. |
| 6 | Booking page uses the same scope? | Same words as the seal. |
| 7 | Allergen question sent to the allergen note? | Not answered with "it is vegan." |
| 8 | No eco or climate slogan on the ribbon? | Yes. |
| 9 | A swapped jar gets a new card before the room is set? | Yes. |
| 10 | Did a note promise more stays from a vegan seal? | Ignore. No invented %. |
Fix the seal before the room is set. A mixed basket called a vegan hamper: take the word off the ribbon.
Seal freeze (labeled example)
Replace every cell from this set. Do not copy the example as a stay benchmark.
| Field | Worked example | Your cell |
|---|---|---|
| Basket scope | Mixed basket example, or ALL ITEMS VEGAN | [scope] |
| Items in the basket | 6 items example | [items] |
| Seals that overclaimed | 2 leftover "vegan hamper" ribbons example. Remove them. | [overclaim] |
| Amenity lines that disagree | 1 booking line example. Edit it. | [bad_page] |
Those cells are worksheet labels. If [scope] is UNKNOWN, the seal stays unmarked until the maker notes are read.
Go / no-go
| Call | When |
|---|---|
| No-go | Mixed basket called a vegan hamper, silent jar called vegan, allergen answered as vegan |
| Go on the seal | The seal, the item cards, and the booking line name the same scope |
| Partial go | Card the items correctly today. Edit the booking line before the next send. |
Score overclaim seals and amenity lines that disagree. A stay rate is not a KPI for the ribbon.
Name the item, or the whole basket.
A mixed basket stays mixed. The seal says vegan only when every item is.
Template fields and 7-day run
| Field | Fill with | Do not invent |
|---|---|---|
[scope] | All items vegan, or mixed basket | A "mostly vegan" hamper |

[markets] | US / EU / UK / both | One climate line per market |

Frequently asked questions
Where does the vegan mark go on a welcome hamper when the basket is mixed?
Mark each item in the basket. The seal says vegan only when every item is vegan as packed. Do not let one vegan item stamp the hamper, and do not invent a stay percentage.
Can one vegan chocolate make the seal say vegan?
No. That chocolate can say vegan on its own card. The seal stays quiet unless every item is vegan as packed.
What if a jar has no maker note?
Leave it unmarked. A silent jar is not vegan. Do not guess from the flavor name.
What if the booking page still says vegan hamper?
Edit the page before the next send. The seal does not repeat a line the basket does not match.
What do we measure if not a stay percentage?
Seals that overclaimed, and amenity lines that still disagree with the baskets.
