WHY IT MATTERS
The case for meal & food
Hunger kills productivity
- Employees who skip meals are 20% less productive on average
- Food benefits reduce daily financial pressure and mental load
- Meal allowances signal daily care — not just annual recognition
The African commute factor
- Long commutes mean employees often can't eat at home before work
- Local eateries and delivery apps are often cash-dependent — digital credits solve this
- Canteen credits reduce midday break time and keep teams on-site and energised
ROI for HR teams
- Meal benefits cost less than equivalent salary increments
- High visibility benefit — employees notice and value it daily
- Trackable spend with full reporting via RibiRewards dashboard
We added meal credits through RibiRewards and within a month our eNPS scores jumped. People notice when you take care of the basics. It's not glamorous — it's necessary.

FAQs
Common questions
Can employees choose which food platform to use?
Yes. Employees choose from the available food delivery and restaurant partners active in their city. We continue to expand our network of local partners.
Do meal credits expire?
Monthly meal credits are valid for 30 days by default. Administrators can configure longer validity windows on higher-tier plans.
Is the meal benefit taxable?
Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction. In Nigeria, meal allowances have specific PAYE treatment. We provide compliance guidance for each market — speak to your account manager for details.
Can I set different meal allowances for different teams?
Absolutely. RibiRewards supports group-level benefit configuration — you can set different allowances for field staff, office teams, and remote employees independently.
