  • Legal Requirements:

  • Receipts must comply with local and state laws regarding sales tax and other regulations.
  • They should include the restaurant's name, address, and contact information.
  • For credit card transactions, the receipt should include the cardholder's name, last four digits of the card number, and the date and time of the transaction.
  • Customer Service:

  • Receipts should be printed on high-quality paper and be legible.

    Receipts can include a space for customers to provide feedback or comments on their dining experience.
