Edenred Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Sotaro Amano; hereinafter "the Company"), which provides the meal allowance employee benefit service "Ticket Restaurant", will launch "Voucher Scan", an automatic receipt analysis feature using AI, as a new function of the official Ticket Restaurant app starting Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
This feature allows employees to simply take a picture of their receipt, and the AI automatically analyzes the purchase details, completing everything from OK/NG judgment to data saving in real-time. By further enhancing the transparency of appropriate corporate system operations with AI technology, we will promote the establishment of a meal allowance infrastructure that achieves both "zero administrative burden" and "high transparency".
## Background of "Voucher Scan" Development
Ticket Restaurant has been highly evaluated as a dedicated meal allowance card that can only be used at affiliated stores such as restaurants and convenience stores, minimizing the operational burden for administrators while ensuring ease of use for employees. On the other hand, following the historic turning point of the recent expansion of the tax exemption limit, meal allowances have become an even more important employee benefit. Consequently, diverse management needs have arisen among companies, such as wanting to "operate with higher transparency" and "understand usage realities in detail". "Voucher Scan", utilizing AI, is the new feature developed to flexibly meet these needs and provide further peace of mind.
This feature visualizes purchased items through the power of AI, supporting companies in smart system operations. Since it is provided as an optional feature, companies can choose whether or not to implement it.
Furthermore, the usage is extremely simple. Employees simply complete their reporting without burden by taking a photo of their receipt and uploading it from the official app. There are no changes to how Ticket Restaurant itself is used. Companies can also maintain their previous convenience while automatically performing everything from image analysis to judgment and data saving, enabling operations with minimized management hours.
Aiming to make meal allowances a standard infrastructure, our company will continue to promote the development of an environment where the tax exemption system can be used reasonably, correctly, and safely.
## Features of the New "Voucher Scan" Function
1. Employees simply take a photo of the receipt from the official app and upload it. Automatic analysis is completed in 2-3 seconds.
2. Improved transparency through an "automatic discrimination function" for inappropriate usage utilizing AI.
3. A "dashboard function" that minimizes the burden of corporate administrative work, making accountability and audit response easy.
