Expensed meal credits

You set the budget as a one-time treat for ad-hoc events, or as a recurring benefit to encourage your team to take a break each day.

By giving employees a convenient way to order expensed meals, you'll help reduce stress and improve satisfaction.

Your card will be charged for every order placed by your team, so be sure to check with your bank to make sure they are aware of multiple orders being placed on the card.
For invoice payments: Pay for all of your team’s orders at once via a monthly invoice.
