Rewards infrastructure for AfricaField workforce meals
Give field teams a meal benefit that travels with the work.
Support employees working across territories, customer locations, operating sites and harder-to-reach areas with controlled meal value and a merchant network shaped around workforce demand.
How it works
Start with the workforce map — then build useful meal coverage.
A fixed restaurant list can fail field teams. RibiRewards starts with where employees actually work, identifies coverage gaps and can support participating merchant acquisition around those locations.
01
Map workforce demand
Identify the cities, territories, sites and operating areas employees need to use the benefit.
02
Set field allowances
Configure meal value and programme rules for eligible field populations.
03
Build useful coverage
Use existing participating merchants and address priority coverage gaps around the workforce.
04
Use and monitor
Employees use Meal Pass while the employer retains programme visibility.
Programme control
One place to manage the programme.
Configure eligible employees, allowances, groups and programme rules, then see allocation, redemption and utilisation from the employer side.
Discuss your programmeMeal Pass experience
Meal Pass for employees whose workplace keeps moving.
Field employees can see available meal value and participating food options while the programme remains employer-controlled behind the scenes.
Build your programme
What the programme supports
Designed for real workforce needs.
Distributed teams
Support employees who do not spend every day at a central office.
Location-led coverage
Plan merchant acceptance around workforce demand rather than only major CBDs.
Independent merchants
Support approved local food businesses alongside larger restaurant operators where appropriate.
Central visibility
Keep one employer view across field groups, locations and programme usage.
Merchant acceptance
A benefit only works when employees can actually use it.
RibiRewards combines employee Meal Pass access with participating food merchants and a coverage model designed around where your workforce needs to eat.
The payment moment
Meal Pass becomes real at checkout.
Employees use their allocated meal value with approved merchants while the programme keeps the transaction tied to the employer-funded benefit.
Built for Africa
Coverage shaped around where your people are.
Programme availability and merchant coverage vary by market. RibiRewards designs deployments around the countries, cities and workforce locations the employer needs to support.
The Meal Pass system
One programme. Six connected parts.
Employer control, employee access, merchant acceptance, workforce coverage and the payment moment work together as one Meal Pass experience.
