It’s official: starting January 1st, 2026, the maximum value of meal vouchers will increase by €2 per working day.
This means employees could receive up to €440 more per year, tax-free, to spend in shops like yours. It’s a direct increase in purchasing power, and a commercial opportunity you don’t want to miss.
Why this change is good news for you
Every extra euro loaded on a Monizze card is a euro that can potentially be spent at your business.
With this increase:
- Your customers will have more budget to spend each day
- They’ll be less limited by ticket value, and more likely to diversify or round out their purchases
- It could lead to higher average baskets or more frequent visits
In other words: this increase in meal vouchers is a direct opportunity to boost your sales without any additional investment on your part.
How to prepare for this change
Even though the measure won’t take effect until early 2026, now is the time to start getting ready and make the most of it.
Here are a few practical tips:
- Make it visible that you accept meal vouchers: stickers, shop windows, checkout counter…
- Train your staff to answer customer questions. The better informed they are, the more they’ll promote voucher use
- Highlight products that can be purchased with meal vouchers (ready-to-eat items, meals, takeaway dishes, etc.)
- Consider targeted promotions during key times (lunch breaks, afterwork) when vouchers are frequently used
