I've been a regular patron at a local restaurant that has always accepted Sodexo vouchers for payment. During my latest visit they declined, why?

• The restaurant's contract with Sodexo may have ended or been changed, which is why they are no longer accepting Sodexo vouchers. This could happen because of disagreements in the negotiations, new fees from Sodexo, or a change in the type of people the restaurant wants to eat there.

• There may be a problem with your Sodexo voucher, such as the fact that it has expired, is damaged, or was put in the wrong category for the merchant. Make sure the voucher is still valid by reading it carefully to see if it lists any restrictions or expiration dates.

• Sometimes, Sodexo's processing system has short-term problems that make it impossible to accept vouchers. If this is the case, the problem may only be temporary and will be fixed soon.
