UNDERSTAND THE FORMAT
Reading this receipt
The Event, Guests, Booking fields provide context for this example. These text fields are entered separately from the quantities and prices that calculate the amount.
Quantity and unit price appear in separate columns, so each charge can be checked before reviewing the total.

GOOD TO KNOW
Catering receipt questions
Do the event, guests, and booking fields calculate the charge?
No. These fields describe the job or appointment. Charges come from the quantity and unit price on each item row, followed by any discount, tax and fixed tip you enter.
Which file formats can I download?
Download a PNG image or a PDF with selectable text. Both use the same receipt data and include a watermark on the free plan.
Can I change the paper size?
Choose 58 mm, 80 mm or A4 in Appearance. Preview long descriptions at the size you intend to use, and match your printer settings when printing.
Can I save this receipt and edit it later?
Use Save draft to download an editable file to your device. Open draft restores that file. ReceiptLab does not automatically save your work.
