- What’s the difference between the Meal Program tool and the Vouchers tool for meals?
The Meal Program tool is designed for ongoing, recurring meal support—ideal for frequent users like employees and teams. You assign Uber Eats allowances to individuals tied to a business profile, and meals are automatically billed to your institution with built-in policy controls.
Vouchers are best for one-time or event-based meal needs—like virtual events, guest speakers, or holiday break support. You set a dollar limit and time frame, then distribute meal vouchers via email, link, or QR code. Users pay nothing unless they exceed the voucher amount.
