The system encourages formality, as only registered companies can issue it, and only businesses that issue invoices can charge for it.
BUENOS AIRES, Nov 18 (NA) — Amid the debate on labor reform, the electronic meal card has returned to the spotlight. This social benefit aims to modernize the world of work without impacting competitiveness.
The tool, presented as a remake of the "Food Basket Voucher," operates with banking security technology and ensures the contribution is used exclusively to cover the cost of a lunch.
According to Noticias Argentinas agency, Edenred describes the card in no uncertain terms:
"It does not replace the salary nor is it part of it: it protects it."

Proven Impact: Equity and Formality
The tool seeks to democratize welfare, allowing a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) without a cafeteria to offer the same standard of quality as a large corporation.
Advisor Bárbara Granatelli stated that to ensure equity, the amount must be fixed (or a daily cap) and not a percentage of the salary, because "A lunch costs the same for everyone."

The model has proven results in more than 45 countries.
Economic evidence indicates that for every euro allocated, the economy recovers between 1.8 and 2.9 euros.
