Can I use a social voucher in any establishment?
In order to be considered a social voucher and benefit from state support, there must be an added value, in this case the guarantee that the voucher is only used within the category for which it was issued.
Edenred guarantees compliance with these obligations by integrating individual establishments into its network and assigning them the correct category. You can use your voucher in the more than 41,000 establishments that are already part of our network or suggest that we add a new one. The Edenred network is growing all the time.
