Titres-restaurant (French meal vouchers): MPs vote to end them on Uber Eats and Deliveroo in 2028

On 12 October 2026, French MPs passed a bill on titres-restaurant (French meal vouchers). It removes delivery platforms, such as Uber Eats and Deliveroo, from the businesses where you can pay with a titre-restaurant, for 2028 vouchers. The French Senate examines it on 19 November.

What does the bill passed by MPs say?

The bill “aiming to modernise and rebalance the workings of the titre-restaurant” (translated from French) was adopted at first reading on 12 October 2026. Tabled by MP Christophe Naegelen (CSE Matin), it received 87 votes for, none against and 15 abstentions (vote).

It excludes “online intermediation platforms referred to in article 242 bis of the General Tax Code” (translated from French) from the businesses that accept titres-restaurant (adopted text, article 1). Uber Eats and Deliveroo fall into this category, according to CSE Matin and Selectra.

Most of the text would come into force on 1 January 2028, for vouchers issued for 2028 and the following years. Vouchers for 2027, usable until the end of February 2028 (French Labour Code), would still be accepted in the apps, according to Selectra.

What would change for your restaurant?

Today, a customer in France can pay for an Uber Eats or Deliveroo order with their titre-restaurant card, at restaurants that accept it. The limit is €25 a day, according to Edenred (Uber Eats, Deliveroo). The text targets the platform, not the restaurant: your establishment would remain eligible.

The text does in fact expressly allow a meal to be bought “including under a distance contract” (translated from French). An order placed on your website, by phone or on your own app could therefore still be paid with a titre-restaurant.

One point remains unclear: will a restaurant listed on an app be able to accept a voucher when the order goes through that app? “The text doesn’t specify” (translated from French), notes Selectra.

Issuers’ commissions would become visible

The companies that issue titres-restaurant charge restaurants fees “that can reach 4 to 5% of the amount” (translated from French), according to AFP (AFP dispatch).

Under the text, each issuer would send you a summary of its commissions and fees for the past year every January. It would be in euros and as a percentage of the vouchers received, broken down by type of fee. A decree could cap these commissions, after an opinion from France’s competition authority, the “Autorité de la concurrence”.

When would it apply?

Not before 2028, and only if the text is finally adopted. According to the Senate’s agenda, its social affairs committee is due to examine it on 3 November 2026, then senators in plenary session on 19 November (Senate). The text can still change.

The same text also provides for titres-restaurant to go fully digital from 2028, according to AFP.

What should you do now?

According to the text as passed, nothing changes before 2028: your customers pay with titres-restaurant in the apps as they do today. Use this time to prepare for direct orders.

• Check that you accept the titre-restaurant card directly, at the counter as well as remotely: it is the channel the text allows.
• Give your lunchtime customers a way to order from you directly: phone, website, collection from the restaurant.
• Compare the costs: on a direct order paid with a titre-restaurant, you pay the issuer’s commission; in the app, you pay the platform’s. Check on your statements whether voucher-related fees come on top. Our guides explain Uber Eats commission and Deliveroo commission in detail.
