Supportive meal cards
Quick way of providing food for your employees.
A simple and easy alternative to supportive meal vouchers, canteens or catering.
Supportive meal cards are a solution for employees obliged to prepare free supportive meals to their employees working in particularly difficult conditions. With prepaid Edenred Cards, employers will enable their employees to eat meals at catering establishments or prepare them on their own. This is a perfect way for organisations that are incapable of issuing meals for organisational reasons or that wish to replace their existing system with a better one.

Mostostal
We have ordered almost 36 thousand gift cards for the children of the employees of Mostostal Warszawa S.A. Due to the size of this order, we received enormous support from Edenred personnel, including, in particular, assistance with the preparation of letters to the employees and with refining the acceptance scope of the children’s gift card to stores with children’s goods. Edenred has meticulously prepared the entire list of merchants. Mostostal Warszawa S.A. has found this cooperation to be very successful.

BERGERAT MONNOYEUR
We are glad to have selected prepaid cards for children of the employees of BERGERAT MONNOYEUR. The cards we ordered are versatile, and we particularly appreciate the fact that they can be topped up with various amounts and at any time. The gift cards for children were very well received not only by our employees but also by the children themselves, which is why we recommend this solution to other companies.

OPTOPOL
We are satisfied with the introduction of gift cards. It is a very convenient form of rewarding the employees. The employees appreciate gift cards primarily because they let them choose their final gift. The cards, however, also have other benefits. A card topped up with PLN 100 by the employer may actually be worth as much as over PLN 130 because it entitles to various discounts when it is used, even up to 30%, depending on the place where the payment is made. Also, everyone likes to feel special. The employee will be more likely to remember receiving the card from the employer than an ordinary transfer of cash to the account. We recommend this solution to other companies.

Decathlon

By making the transition to prepaid cards, we have shown that we are open to new solutions, and we are ready to meet the expectations and needs of our employees. We recommend this solution to other companies.

Ursa
We recommend subsidising meals using prepaid cards to other companies because this benefit is a good incentive. The employees can regenerate by eating a hot meal during work, and common lunch breaks contribute to team-building.

Supportive meal card – FAQ
Where can the employee pay with the Edenred supportive meal card?
The supportive meal card enables unrestricted choice of the type, frequency and place of the employees’ meals. The acceptance scope is customised to categories of catering establishments that meet the criteria for the subsidising of supportive meals, such as restaurants, bakeries, confectioneries, canteens, fast food restaurants, pizza parlours, online catering or “Pan Kanapka” catering company.
Is the supportive meal card limited to the categories associated with meal purchase?
The cards are issued in the Mastercard® system, and their acceptance scope is unlimited. The card can be used to pay at any point with a payment terminal that accepts payment cards. However, in the case of special-purpose benefits, such as the subsidising of supportive meals – the acceptance scope is narrowed down to catering establishments that sell a meal or the products required to prepare one. The remaining categories functioning in the payment system are locked, which means that the transaction will not be authorised in the system and will be rejected.
What is the expiry date of prepaid Edenred cards?
The normal expiry date of meal cards is 3 years. The prepaid card is provided to the employee once, and it is topped-up by the employer during successive months. This saves a lot of our Client’s time.
What will happen if an employee loses the supportive meal card?
An employee who loses a card should report this immediately by calling the Customer Service Department of Edenred or using the MyEdenred free mobile application. The employee will soon receive a replacement card, and any funds remaining on the card that was lost will be transferred to the new card. The replacement card will be sent by mail to the indicated address of the user.
What is the difference between the supportive meal card and lunch card?
Type of the intended user and function of the card.
- Lunch cards are used for voluntary subsidising of meals for the personnel. They are provided in order to motivate the employees and increase their commitment during day-to-day duties and in order to make the company more attractive than other employers.
- Supportive meal cards are used to fulfil the duty of the employer, who, in accordance with the Labour Code, has to provide a readymade meal or products required to prepare one to all employees who work under particularly difficult conditions (Article 232 of the Labour Code Act of 26/6/1974).
Card acceptance scope
- The lunch card can be used by the employee only to pay for a readymade meal at catering establishments in Poland.
- The supportive meal card can also be used by the employee to purchase groceries in a store and use them to prepare a meal. This is an alternative solution in the situation where, for organisational reasons, the employer cannot issue a readymade meal to the employee.
