The daily ceiling for restaurant tickets will increase from 19 to 25 euros from Saturday 1 October, as announced in early September by the government, a measure called for by many deputies in the context of the parliamentary debate on purchasing power.
Published Friday in the Official Journal, a decree thus modifies “the terms of use of restaurant vouchers to promote their use, with the increase of the daily ceiling from nineteen euros to twenty-five euros per day”.
At the end of the first confinement in 2020, the ceiling for the use of these means of payment had been doubled, going from 19 to 38 euros and its conditions of use had been relaxed so that meal vouchers could be accepted even on weekends and public holidays, with the aim of supporting the activity of restaurants hard hit by the restrictions linked to the Covid-19 pandemic. On July 1, this daily usage limit was reduced to 19 euros and they were no longer usable on weekends and public holidays.
Restaurant vouchers, distributed by companies to their employees, are often used by the latter to do their food shopping, expenses which have increased in recent months due to inflation.
