Restaurant Receipt Templates

Complete Guide to Restaurant Receipts

Restaurant receipts are among the most commonly needed documents for expense tracking and reimbursement. Whether you're documenting a client dinner, tracking per diem meals during business travel, or keeping records for tax purposes, having accurate restaurant receipt documentation is essential. Our restaurant receipt templates cover everything from fine dining establishments to casual eateries, including major chains like Olive Garden, Applebee's, Chili's, and hundreds of local restaurant formats. Each template includes proper itemization for appetizers, entrees, beverages, and desserts, along with accurate tax calculations and gratuity fields. Restaurant receipts are particularly important for business professionals who need to document entertainment expenses, as the IRS requires detailed records showing the business purpose, attendees, and itemized costs. Our templates also support split checks, separate bar tabs, and party service charges that are common in restaurant billing.
