About the Restaurant Invoice Generator
A restaurant bill is not a normal invoice. It carries a table and cover count, prices that already include tax, an optional service charge that is itself taxable in some countries and not in others, and a tip line that must sit outside the total so the customer decides it.
This builder handles that order of operations. Items are entered at menu prices with tax inside them, the service charge is a percentage applied to the food and drink before the total, and the tip is left as a line the customer fills in rather than a figure you have decided for them.
It prints to A4 for a business customer who needs a proper invoice for expenses, or to an 80mm roll for the table. Table number, covers and server go in the header, which is what turns a bill into something you can match against the night’s takings.

Frequently asked questions
It depends where you are and whether it is discretionary. In the UK, a genuinely optional service charge is outside the scope of VAT; a compulsory one is standard-rated. Check your local rule before you decide how to show it.
As an empty line under the total, so the customer chooses. A pre-filled tip is a suggested gratuity in some jurisdictions and an unlawful charge in others.
Menu prices shown to consumers must include tax in the UK, EU and most of the world. Set the tax treatment to inclusive so the totals are worked out from the menu price rather than added to it.
For an expenses claim: your name and address, your tax registration number, the date, what was supplied and the tax charged. A till receipt often omits the tax number, which is why an A4 invoice is worth offering.
