Ticket Restaurant to Launch AI-Powered Receipt Analysis Feature "Proof Scan" on April 1st

Edenred Japan, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Sotaro Amano; hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which operates the employee meal benefit service "Ticket Restaurant," will begin offering "Proof Scan," an AI-powered automatic receipt analysis function, as a new feature of the official Ticket Restaurant app starting April 1, 2026.

This feature allows employees to simply take a photo of their receipts, and the AI will automatically analyze the purchase details, completing everything from OK/NG judgment to data storage in real-time. By leveraging AI technology, we aim to further enhance the transparency of appropriate system operations for companies, promoting the infrastructure of meal benefits that balances "zero administrative burden" with "high transparency." ■ Background of "Proof Scan" Development Ticket Restaurant has been highly praised as a meal benefit-exclusive card usable only at affiliated stores such as restaurants and convenience stores, for its ease of use for employees and its ability to minimize the operational burden on administrators. On the other hand, with the recent historical turning point of expanding the tax-exempt framework, meal benefits are becoming even more important employee benefits. This has also given rise to diverse management needs for each company, such as "wanting to operate with higher transparency" and "wanting to grasp the actual usage details." To flexibly respond to these needs and provide further peace of mind, we have developed the new AI-powered "Proof Scan" feature. This feature visualizes purchase items using the power of AI and supports smart system operations for companies. As it is offered as an optional feature, companies can choose whether or not to implement it on a per-company basis. The usage method is also very simple. Employees can complete their reporting without any burden simply by taking and uploading a photo of their receipt through the official app. There are no changes to how Ticket Restaurant is used. For companies, while maintaining the convenience they have enjoyed so far, management workload can be minimized by automating everything from image analysis to judgment and data storage. Our company aims to create an infrastructure for meal benefits and will continue to promote the development of an environment where the tax-exempt system can be used reasonably, correctly, and with peace of mind. ■ Features of the New "Proof Scan" Function ・Employees simply take and upload a photo of their receipt through the official app. Automatic analysis is completed in 2-3 seconds. ・Improved transparency with AI-powered "automatic inappropriate use detection function." ・Easy accountability and audit response with the "dashboard function" that minimizes the burden of corporate administrative tasks. ■ New Feature Details 1.
