Format spec
Coffee shop quick-service receipt template
A short tape with a large order number, indented modifiers and a tip line.
This is a generic industry format — the printing convention, not any company’s trade dress. You supply your own business identity; Get Receipt supplies the grid it prints on.
Physical spec
- Paper
- 80 mm thermal roll
- Roll or sheet width
- 79.5 mm
- Printable width
- 72 mm
- Horizontal dots
- 576
- Head density
- 203 dpi (8 dots/mm)
- Characters per line
- 48 (ESC/POS Font A)
The character grid is the printer’s, not an approximation: at 203 dpi a Font A cell is 12 × 24 dots, so 576 dots of printable width is exactly 48 characters. Anything you render has to land on integer dot multiples or the edges blur.
Ordered field list
Top of the document to the bottom. This is the order a reader expects and the order a scanner, a bookkeeper or a returns desk looks for.
- 1.Shop name
- 2.Location or store number
- 3.Order number in double-height type
- 4.Order type: for here, to go, or mobile
- 5.Item lines with indented, priced modifiers
- 6.Subtotal
- 7.Tax
- 8.Tip line or tip-prompt result
- 9.Total
- 10.Tender
- 11.Loyalty points
- 12.Thank-you line
- 13.QR to a survey or loyalty enrolment
Alignment
Centred header, two-column item block, modifiers indented two spaces under their parent drink.
Tax convention
Exclusive. A prepared drink may be taxed where whole beans sold to take away are exempt, which calls for a taxable and non-taxable subtotal split.
Tender
Card or wallet, with a tip line above the total.
Machine-readable code
A QR at the foot, carrying a short link.
How to recognise it
- Giant order number
- Modifier stack under each drink
- Tip line present
- Very short tape
Get Receipt renders this as Coffee shop counter slip
80 mm thermal counter slip: centred shop block, drink lines, loyalty QR at the foot. Every total is recomputed by the engine from the line items, so the printed lines always sum to the printed total — the one thing generated receipts most often get wrong.
