Food & Drink budgets
What are Food & Drink budgets?
Food and drinks budgets are allowances you allocate to employees, usually on a weekly or monthly basis, which can be used to buy food & drink!
Our flex allowances can be used for the likes of lunch budgets, where employees can choose their own food & drink. This is a great benefit for remote employees who can order food to their home, or as an incentive to encourage employees to come into the office more frequently. Food & drink budgets can also be used towards the cost of food shops & everyday expenses.

Why offer food & drink budgets through Ben?
Ben makes offering a food & drink allowance easy. You start by working with a benefits consultant to help you determine an appropriate allowance amount and any restrictions you want to implement, including only being spendable on certain retail categories.
Employees are then given a virtual or physical card that they can use towards their food & drinks purchases. Receipts are uploaded straight to Ben, and with our consolidated reporting you can easily track usage and balances across your team.
