The digital meal subsidy with Regional Hero.

Motivate your employees, make things easy for your administration — and revitalize your region. Tax free.

Join us. Like those heroes.

Meal allowance... what is that?

As a company, you can subsidize your employees' meals: with 7.23 euros a day, on a maximum of 15 working days per month. In other words, increase wages without additional wage costs. Your team, your controlling team likes it — and attracts new talent.

Normal for us: digital meal allowance.

You must store and distribute usual paper coupons. They can crack and get lost. And paper? Not necessarily sustainable. That's why everything runs digitally with us, via the Regional Hero app. Your employees scan the shopping vouchers for their meal and receive your subsidies immediately.

Everything is automated, easy for your bookkeeping.

Free choice when it comes to eating. Invigorating regional

Long lunch or quick snack, veggie or meat, restaurant or Rewe — your employees treat themselves to what they like, where they like it. Without a partner commitment. And with your subsidies in the app, they can later shop at their neighborhood's favorite stores. Wherever Mastercard is accepted.

Revive motivation and your region.

Diese Karte ist eine großartige Idee für uns alle: Der Beschenkte freut sich z. B. auf einen Besuch in seinem Lieblingscafé oder lernt einen neuen Ort kennen und die lokalen Händler werden unterstützt. Vielen Dank!

How does the Regional Hero Card contribute to sustainability and strengthening the local economy?

The Regional Hero Card contributes to the sustainability and strengthening of the local economy by allowing employees to spend their tax-free credit with regional businesses and service providers. In this way, the money flows directly into the local economy, which helps to secure jobs, support local companies and strengthen purchasing power in the region. By specifically promoting the local economy, sustainability is improved as transport routes are shorter and local resources are used. This results in a reduction in the ecological footprint. In addition, the Regional Hero Card promotes awareness of the importance of the local economy and the benefits of shopping with regional suppliers. By combining tax-free benefits for employees and supporting regional companies, the Regional Hero Card helps create a sustainable and economically strong community.
