Digital Food Vouchers and Delivery

Disadvantages of Paper Vouchers and Receipts

Food vouchers made of paper have been around for many decades. And yet, they're far from being accepted in a lot of places. This limits the food choices for employees, particularly in the vicinity of their company.

Additionally, both paper vouchers and receipts can easily get lost. Plus, it takes a long time to properly put all receipts in order. Especially for large teams, it's much easier to avoid paper vouchers and receipts completely and to document subsidized items and foods digitally.

Food Subsidy Options

In order to save money with subsidies, companies will have to prove each purchase to the tax office (Finanzamt). While transmitting receipts is time consuming and complex, electronical receipts will lower the effort substencially.

Learn what other regulations you need to know to correctly use food subsidies

One way to document food purchases for subsidy are apps. For a small fee, apps like Hrmony, Billyard or Salfy either include digital food vouchers or can be used to scan receipts.
