Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about creating restaurant receipts

Can I add a tip line to the restaurant receipt?

Yes, use the custom message section to add a tip guide with suggested percentages, a tip blank line, and a signature line just like real restaurant checks.

How do I itemize food and drinks separately?

You can add all items to the items list section with descriptive names. For visual separation, insert a divider section between food and beverage items.

Can I include server and table information?

Yes, use the transaction info section to add server name, table number, and order number, or include them in a custom message section.

What is a restaurant receipt?

A restaurant receipt is a detailed record of a dining transaction, listing each food and beverage item ordered along with prices, subtotals, taxes, tips, and the total amount charged. Restaurant receipts typically include the establishment name, table number, server name, and a breakdown of appetizers, entrees, drinks, and desserts. They may also include a tip line and suggested gratuity percentages.

Why do you need a restaurant receipt?

Restaurant receipts are commonly needed for business meal expense reports, tax deductions for business entertainment, and personal budgeting. Companies require itemized dining receipts to reimburse employees, and self-employed individuals need them to document deductible business meals. They are also useful for resolving billing disputes or tracking dietary spending.

What are the key fields on a restaurant receipt?

Restaurant name, address, and phone number • Server name and table number • Itemized food and beverage list with individual prices • Subtotal, tax, tip line, and grand total • Date and time of the meal • Payment method and transaction reference • Tip suggestions (15%, 18%, 20%)

Tips for creating your restaurant receipt

Add a custom message section with tip guide percentages for realism • Include server name and table number in the transaction info section • Group items logically: appetizers, entrees, beverages, desserts • Use the signature line in a custom message for credit card receipts
