Free Restaurant Receipt Generator — Fill in the Details

Business details (optional)

Printed under your business name. VAT and GST receipts usually need your address and registration number. The tax number is never put in the QR code.

Keeps the name, address, contact, tax number, logo and currency in this browser (localStorage) for your next receipt, of any type. Nothing is uploaded.

Downloading the same receipt again keeps this number; once you change the receipt, it moves to the next one. Next time, it starts after the last number you downloaded on this device.

Restaurant Receipt Details

Items

Discount, a second tax (e.g. CGST + SGST), prices with tax included

For prices quoted with VAT or GST in them: the tax is worked out of the total, not added on top.

The discount comes off the subtotal before tax, and both taxes are charged on (or, with prices that include tax, worked out of) the discounted amount.

Scanning it shows the receipt's details on a phone. It is a convenience, not proof the receipt is genuine. How it works

What each check is based on

For receipts you issue for your own business or property. Never create a receipt on behalf of a business you don't own, or for a payment that didn't happen — see our Terms.

A restaurant receipt itemizes each food and drink item ordered, along with tax, tip and the total paid. Use the form above to add each item with its price, set your tax rate, and the generator calculates the subtotal and total automatically — ready to download as a PDF, PNG or JPEG.

When You Need to Generate a Restaurant Receipt

A POS system prints receipts automatically, but plenty of food businesses don’t have one: a small café or pop-up stand that is just starting, a food truck at a weekend market, or a caterer who needs to issue a formal itemized bill after a private event. This template lets you issue the same line-by-line receipt diners expect from a printed restaurant check, with tax and tip on their own lines.

How to Create an Itemized Restaurant Receipt

  1. Add your restaurant name and logo. This appears at the top of the receipt exactly as it would on a printed check.
  2. List each item ordered. Add a line for every dish or drink with its price — quantities multiply automatically if more than one of an item was ordered.
  3. Set your local sales tax rate. The generator calculates the tax amount and adds it to the subtotal automatically.
  4. Add the tip, if any. Enter it in the Tip field — it prints on its own line between tax and the total, like a printed restaurant check.
  5. Download the finished receipt. Export as PDF for a printable copy, or PNG/JPEG to text or email to the customer.

What Should a Restaurant Receipt Include?

  • Restaurant name, address and contact details
  • Date and time of the order
  • Itemized list of food and drink with individual prices
  • Subtotal, tax and tip shown separately
  • Total amount paid and payment method
  • Server name or table number (optional, useful for tip tracking)

Who This Template Is For

Independent restaurants, cafés and food trucks without a full POS system, caterers issuing a formal bill after private events, and restaurant staff who need to reissue a copy of a customer’s bill. If you are a diner who lost a receipt, ask the restaurant for a duplicate — most POS systems can reprint one.

Can I show tax and tip as separate line items?

Yes — tax is calculated automatically from the rate you set, and the tip has its own field, so both print as separate lines above the total.

Is this suitable for a food truck or pop-up stand?

Yes. Any business selling food or drinks directly to customers can use this template — it doesn’t require a registered point-of-sale system, just the item names and prices.

A customer lost their receipt — can I give them a copy?

Yes. As the restaurant, you can reissue a copy from your own order records: use the original date, items and prices, and write “Duplicate copy” in the notes. Only the business that was paid should issue a receipt for a meal.

Does the receipt show the server or table number?

Yes — the form has Table No., Server and Time fields, which print in the receipt header. Most restaurants use them for tip reconciliation at the end of a shift.

How to Make an Itemized Receipt

An itemized receipt lists every item on its own line with the quantity and price, then the subtotal, each tax, the tip and the total, instead of one lump sum. Employers and tax authorities usually ask for itemized receipts for meal expenses because they show what was bought. In the generator, add one row per dish or drink and turn on the tip field; the totals are worked out for you.

What makes a restaurant receipt itemized?

Each dish and drink on its own line with quantity and price, followed by the subtotal, tax, tip and total. A card slip showing only the total is not itemized.
