Apply staff meal allowance on the Branded Online Store
Learn how staff members can apply their allocated meal allowance budget to pay for online orders on the Branded Online Store.
The Meal Allowance feature allows eligible employees to redeem staff dining perks directly when placing orders through the restaurant's Branded Online Store website. By signing in with their registered employee account credentials, employees can process orders with their meal plan allowance.
Important:
- Account Matching: The phone number or email address used to log into the Branded Online Store website must match the information saved under your profile in the restaurant's system.
- Budget Exhaustion: If you have used up your entire allowance budget for the active period, the restaurant's website will not allow any further allowance redemption until the plan resets. You must pay the full order amount using a personal payment method.
- Usage Rules: Allowance restrictions (such as caps, eligible items, and active time slots) depend on your assigned meal plan configuration and pre-set restrictions.
- Multi-Currency Conversion: If your meal plan's base currency differs from the store's default operating currency, the system automatically converts the allowance budget using active currency exchange rates.
In this article, you'll learn how to settle your bill using your Meal Plan Allowance on the restaurant's website.
