That's not the purpose of the restaurant ticket either, eh… The purpose of the restaurant ticket is above all to pay for the dish of the day in the neighborhood restaurant, not to treat yourself from time to time in a good restaurant …
As soon as we leave this framework, we are no longer in the idea of the restaurant ticket (you pay the extra cost of the lunch restaurant compared to a home-cooked meal because your job does not allow you to eat home-cooked food ), and there is therefore no reason to fall within the framework of the meal ticket (since the employer's share is exempt from charges and taxes, precisely because there are constraints on use).
If we can do absolutely whatever we want with it, it becomes simple remuneration, and there is more reason for it to be exempt from charges and taxes… Otherwise it is an open door to all abuses: all the companies will give the maximum possible employer share, to the detriment of normal remuneration…
Afterwards, whether the amount does not match the price of the daily special is another subject. To be discussed with the employer to increase the employer's share if it is not yet at the legal maximum: it can reach €7.18 and 60% of the value of the ticket. And we must also ask restaurants to make more suitable offers, for example cheaper takeaway meals, with the economy of the service.
