Employee Meal Cards
Explained
Everything you need to know about meal vouchers, food allowance cards, and how they transform your employee benefits program.
What are Employee Meal Cards?
Employee meal cards, also known as meal vouchers or food allowance cards, are payment cards issued by companies for meal benefits. These cards come with specific allowances, which employees can use to purchase meals or food items at designated restaurants, cafeterias, food trucks, or even through food delivery services.
Essentially these meal cards are the backbone of an employer-sponsored meal program that aims to provide a variety of dining options to employees while also streamlining and decreasing their out-of-pocket dining expenses.
