Volunteer Restaurant Title

Verified 01 January 2024 - Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister), Ministry for Associative Life

As an association, you want to know if you can give your volunteer staff restaurant titles and how should you proceed? We'll give you the information you need. Any association can hand over restaurant titles (Apetiz, Up lunch, Swile, Pass restaurant, Ticket restaurant, Worklife) after having adopted the principle by deliberation. However, you must comply with certain conditions (assignment, implementation, use,...).

  • You must have adopted, by deliberation, the principle of giving your volunteers catering titles
  • You must have decided and had validated at the general meeting the amount and the conditions of award of the restaurant title
  • you have to fund it all the amount of the voucher
  • You must keep the list of beneficiaries of restaurant vouchers up to date, specifying the amounts per beneficiary

In order to benefit from the restaurant title, the volunteer must exercise his or her activity in a manner that regular within the association.

The same volunteer can only receive 1 restaurant voucher per meal included in the course of its daily activities.

The restaurant voucher allows you to pay all or part of the price of meals eaten in the restaurant or prepared by a restaurateur.

The conditions of use of the restaurant ticket are as follows:

  • The same security must be used to pay in whole or in part 1 meal only. The same meal cannot be paid for with several restaurant titles.
  • The restaurant title is nominative and must be used only by the volunteer to whom the association gave it.
  • It is not available on Sundays and public holidays. However, the association may indicate otherwise on the catering vouchers of the volunteer working on those days.
  • It can only be used in the volunteer's workplace department and neighboring departments. However, the association may indicate otherwise on the catering vouchers of the volunteer who is to travel in the course of his duties.
  • It should only be used during calendar year and the period of use referred to therein. Securities not used during this period and returned to the association in the following fortnight shall be exchanged free of charge for an equal number of securities valid for the subsequent period.

Warning  

unlike the restaurant ticket given to the employee, the volunteer's restaurant title does not allow to buy food in shops.

You must contact an authorized issuer to obtain restaurant securities in your name and for the amount you want.

The restaurant titles must be issued on behalf of the volunteers concerned.

You can request a quote and then order the restaurant vouchers online from the issuer of your choice.

The maximum amount of the volunteer voucher is €7.30.

The overall cost is divided into 3 parts:

  • Value of the voucher
  • Cost of providing services
  • Shipping costs

Your contribution to the financing of the volunteer restaurant titles is exempt any taxes, contributions and social contributions.

The volunteer who leaves the association duty give you the restaurant vouchers, in his possession, at the time of his departure.
