Restaurant & Catering Receipt Template
Detailed receipts for events, catering, and corporate dining
Restaurants generate POS receipts at the table, but catering, private events, corporate dining, and refunds often need fuller documentation. Issueable separates service charge, gratuity, food, alcohol, deposit, and tax so the receipt can stand on its own.

Service Charge ≠ Gratuity
Distinct lines for the restaurant's service charge and the optional gratuity going to staff.
Food + Beverage + Alcohol
Separate lines support split tax treatment and corporate expense report alcohol redaction.
Catering Deposit Support
Pair with the invoice generator for deposits; restaurant receipt confirms post-event balance payment.
Refund Documentation
Issue a credit memo or negative-amount receipt referencing the original transaction. Protects against chargebacks and audit gaps.
Guest Count & Per-Head Pricing
Catering receipts can break out per-guest pricing for multi-platter or buffet setups.
Beyond the POS

Off-premise catering for weddings, corporate events, conferences, and private parties.
Private Dining Events
Restaurant private-room or buyout receipts for corporate dinners and milestone events.
Corporate Expense Documentation

Restaurant Receipt FAQ
Beyond the POS Slip
Most restaurant transactions live and die on the POS receipt. But catering, private events, and corporate dining clients need structured documentation that the POS doesn't produce: itemized line items, distinct service charge vs gratuity, meals + alcohol tax separation, and a format that fits an expense-reporting workflow.
Food trucks, ghost kitchens, meal-prep services, and event venues all generate the same documentation need. If you also handle catering bookings before the event, the small business invoice template covers the deposit-and-balance flow. For the supplier side, see restaurant purchase orders.
