The meal voucher.

The ticket resto your staff already know, on the phone they already have — spent only where food is sold, at its full face value.

What it is

A voucher for meals, issued and administered by Bounou. It is used only for what it was issued for: food.

The employer sets the value per day and per member.

Who buys it

Employers, for their staff.

An employer orders it in the Bounou console and receives a purchase order and an invoice.
Bounou's commission is added on top of the face value and invoiced. The rate is in your quote and your contract before you sign.

Where it is spent

Only at shops Bounou has cleared for meal vouchers — places that sell food. Bounou sets that from each shop's documents; a shop cannot tick it for itself.

The map shows every shop and the vouchers it accepts, and the app shows a member how much of their value works at a shop before they walk in.

How a member receives and spends it

The employer assigns the vouchers, and they arrive in the member's Bounou account at once.

At the counter, the member shows a code that lives 90 seconds and says only who they are.
The shop scans it and enters the amount; the member approves that amount on their own phone.
If the vouchers usable there do not cover the bill, the shop charges what they cover and the member pays the rest the usual way.

Tax and social contributions

For the employee, a meal voucher is salary: taxed for income tax (IRPP) like pay. For the employer, it is a staff cost, like salary. The relief is on CNSS contributions only.

Excluded from the CNSS base up to 3 × the hourly SMIG per meal and per double-shift working day: 8.001 TND in 2026, our computation from the 2026 hourly SMIG of 2.667 TND (décret n° 67/2026) — Décret n° 2003-1098 du 19 mai 2003, article 1er, point 13.
All excluded benefits together stay within 5% of the company's payroll — the same decree, article 3.

Every voucher is valid for one year from the day it is issued, and its expiry date is shown wherever it is shown; value still unused on that date stays with Bounou. Bounou is not a bank and not a payment institution.
