How to Create Restaurant Bill Online
Whether you run a café, a restaurant, or a cloud kitchen, you need clear, professional bills that look good and stay compliant. Creating a restaurant bill online is quick when you use the right tool. This guide walks you through BillGenerators.com’s Restaurant Bill Generator—from choosing a template to downloading your bill as PDF or JPG.
1. Open the Restaurant Bill Generator
Go to Restaurant Bill Generator. The page has two main areas: a form panel on one side and a live preview on the other. Every change you make in the form updates the preview instantly, so you always see how the final bill will look.
2. Choose Template and Font
At the top of the form you’ll see:
- Select Template – Choose Template 1 or Template 2. Each has a different layout and style; pick the one that fits your brand.
- Font – Select from Font 1 (monospace), Font 2 (Courier New), or Font 3 (Nunito Sans). The font applies to the whole bill text.
These two options set the overall look of your bill before you add any details.
3. Fill In Restaurant Details (Tab 1)
The form is split into two tabs: Restaurant Details and Add Items. Start with the first tab.
Restaurant name and logo
- Enter your Restaurant Name (e.g. “Spice Darbar”). It appears at the top of the bill under “Welcomes You”.
- Logo – Use the file input to upload your logo (JPEG, PNG, or WebP). The tool scales it to fit; it appears above the restaurant name on the bill.
Address
Type your full Address in the text area (street, area, city, PIN). You can use multiple lines; the bill will show them centred below the name.
Date, time, bill number, and table
- Date – Set the bill date (defaults to today).
- Time – Set the time of the order.
- Bill Number – Enter a unique number (e.g. SD-1234). Use your own numbering system.
- Table No – Enter the table number or “Takeaway” / “Delivery” if applicable.
Customer name
Enter the Customer Name if you want it printed on the bill. Optional but useful for dine-in and delivery orders.
Currency and payment method
- Currency – Select the currency (e.g. Indian Rupee, US Dollar). The symbol is used in the bill totals.
- Payment Method – Choose Cash, Online, or Card. This is shown on the bill.
Tax (GST)
Under Tax, choose:
- None – No tax line on the bill.
- GST – Enables GST. Enter your GST Number and Tax (%) (e.g. 12). These appear on the bill and the tool calculates tax on the total.
Bottom note
Use the Bottom Note text area for extra information such as:
- FSSAI licence number
- “CUSTOMER COPY” or “KITCHEN COPY”
- Thank-you message or terms
You can use multiple lines; the text is centred at the bottom of the bill.
4. Add Items (Tab 2)
Switch to the Add Items tab. Here you build the list of items on the bill.
- Each row has Item name, Rate (price per unit), and Qty (quantity). The Amount is calculated automatically (Rate × Qty).
- Click Add Item to add more rows. You can add as many items as you need.
- Use the eye icon on a row to include or hide that item from the bill (useful for drafts).
- Use the remove (trash) button to delete a row.
The preview updates as you add or edit items. Subtotal and total (with tax if GST is enabled) are calculated automatically.
5. Use the Live Preview
The Live Preview panel shows the bill exactly as it will appear when downloaded. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out. Check that:
- Logo, name, and address look correct
- All items and amounts are right
- GST (if used) and totals are correct
- Bottom note is as you want it
There are no “Save” or “Apply” steps—filling in the form is enough; the preview is always in sync.
6. Download Your Bill
At the bottom of the form:
- Choose Download as – PDF (best for printing) or JPG (good for sharing or digital records).
- You need to be logged in to download. If you’re not, click Login to Download Bill and sign in (you’ll return to the same page).
- Downloads use a credits system. You need a small number of credits per bill; you can buy credits from the Buy Credits page.
- Click Download to get your bill. The downloaded file will not show the “Downloaded image will not have watermark” text—that’s only in the on-screen preview.
Use the Reset (↻) button anytime to clear the form and start a new bill (your template and font choices are kept).
7. Tips for Creating Restaurant Bills Online
- Keep a consistent bill number series – Use a pattern (e.g. prefix + date + sequence) so bills are easy to track.
- Add FSSAI and GST where required – Many food businesses in India must show FSSAI and GST on bills; use the bottom note and Tax section.
- Use the right template – Try both templates and pick the one that fits your brand and space on the bill.
- Check the preview before download – Zoom in and scroll to ensure nothing is cut off and all text is readable.
