Some Viennese gastronomy vouchers that were introduced as a corona aid measure may already have changed hands illegally. According to a spokesman of the city council Peter Hanke (SPÖ) some of the vouchers have been blocked. This is possible because they have registration numbers and must be scanned in the restaurant.

The police also reported a first complaint on Thursday about a broken mailbox in Vienna-Floridsdorf.

“Colleagues are expecting more, as the police have indicated that there may be other cases of stolen vouchers”, the executive said.

The number of vouchers that have been withdrawn from circulation is currently in the middle of the double-digit range. They were reported to the police as allegedly stolen. The vouchers are not personalised, so they cannot only be used by the recipients. If a voucher has disappeared in the mail or has even been stolen from the mailbox, a replacement can be requested. The voucher that has not arrived will be blocked. It was urgently recommended not to buy vouchers – as they were already offered on web platforms.

The voucher is currently redeemable in around 2,000 restaurants in Vienna. Information about which establishments are participating can be found at www.wienergastrogutschein.at .

Around 950,000 vouchers have been issued. They have a credit balance of 50 or 25 euros and can be redeemed at registered restaurants for food and non-alcoholic drinks until the end of September. The cost of the campaign is estimated at 40 million euros.
