They can not be used to pay the price of a meal or for the purchase of prepared food and supplies immediately to a varied diet, which can replace a meal.
What - is "food preparations"? These sandwiches, prepared foods, fresh, frozen or canned, prepared salads and salads. In addition, the meal or buying food preparation must be paid with a maximum of two tickets and restaurants.
They can be used on weekends and holidays, unless the day equals one day of work and the employer has indicated on the title. A new
not yet applicable: fruits and vegetables. The law of 21 July 2009 No. 2009-879 reforming the hospital expects that securities-restaurants can be used to buy fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately

Here, is in force, under pressure from the restaurant, which the State has already made a huge gift in VAT from 19.6% to 5.5%, gift tax, which seems not to benefit the employees, contrary to commitments made. The profession, through the media of the main employers' association president humi, Andre Daguin (which is not anyone in the profession, former chef at the Michelin two stars) justifies the application of a fair return things. Indeed, the history that led to the creation of tickets restaurant takes its source in 1913.
History of the ticket-restaurant Since 1913, employers are required to provide their employees the opportunity to take their meals in satisfactory conditions. This requirement was clarified in 1960 when at least 25 employees of the company upon request, the employer must install on the premises of the company, a refectory. In companies with fewer than 25 employees, the provision of staff of a suitable room shall be provided. The application of this measure has been difficult for a number of companies without such facilities. The concept of "Title Restaurant" was a response to these difficulties.
The idea was born in England in the spirit of Dr. Winchendron: To facilitate the breakfast staff of his clinic, he imagined "good meal" used among restaurateurs with whom he spent agreement.
This idea is adopted by France in 1957 with the creation of good meal, first as a traditional form by "credit Meals." In 1962, the formula is taken by "The check-Restaurant". Then in 1963 the company Jacques Borel launches "Ticket Restaurant". In 1964 the company's "Check CRC Cooperative Restaurant" creates "The Cheque Dejeuner ".
In 1967, under the presidency of General de Gaulle, the government of Georges Pompidou, Prime Minister, convinced by this system of support for the restoration employee, equips it with a legislative framework.
Ordinance No. 67830 of 27 September 1967 and its implementing regulations, give the restaurant as the character of a benefit granted to employees, which are associated exemptions from tax and social benefit both employees and employers, and make the restaurant as a true account of payment. The rules for the issuance and use meal voucher are asked, and a committee involving all stakeholders (issuers, employers, employees, restaurant) is created to oversee the operation of the new device.
Gradually, issuers of securities organized. In 1972, the three companies operating under market-restaurant (lunch check, check and Ticket Restaurant Restaurant) create a common association - the Confederation of Settlement of Securities (CRT) - that ensures the repayment of bonds issued by these companies and provided by restaurants.
In 1982, a new transmitter is officially: Society Intertitres Restaurant, Banque Populaire Group and the National Federation of French restaurant, joined by several professional unions in the restaurant industry, launching the title "Check Table".
Today the success of the title restaurant has since ceased to assert estimated that nearly 5 million the number of employees do not enjoy the restaurant business, half in companies with fewer than 50 employees.
It will be understood, the major argument of Andre Daguin is to render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. In addition, form of provocation, that nothing prevents employers to create and issue tickets to help their employees to buy a pair of shoes or a floor mat for car and is also a tasty openly liberal profession demands the state intervention in the matter. By openly claiming the paternity of the tickets and restaurant by the profession, which is also real, Mr. Daguin should reflect on the conditions of use of these tickets in its own branch: is it reasonable and consistent with legislation that tickets can be used not only outside of working days, but in places that have not vocations to a restaurant serving dishes of the day? In other words, is it consistent you can use them if you go have lunch or dinner at a chef?
Certainly there were abuses, but many families make ends meet month thanks precisely to these tickets and restaurant, in fact, they were a major boost. What will happen? Presumably many employees will pass these tickets now, because what interest to possess knowledge that they can no longer use them and prefer to save the hand, DE30 50%, they had to fund.
Effective March 1, 2010, you can not use your meal tickets in hypermarkets and supermarkets as you see fit.

To release the offer must deregulate, raising load factors of soil and restore the continuity of buildings in dense areas, allowing each individual homeowner to expand, adding a room or floor to building flood zones for buildings adapted to the environment and the risk, use the interstices, the neglected infrastructure ... We need to change our procedures, how we apply the law, out of respect liability rules increasingly burdensome, not to leave the field open market but for the city to live, breathe, evolves and develops in accordance with rules strong, comprehensive, efficient, environmentally sound. I asked that either conduct a thorough reflection on the change in our philosophy of planning law. "
