Everything from the counter
Counter Print draws your news the way the till prints it: on a curl of warm thermal paper in one ink, with dotted leaders, a dashed rule, a double line over the total and a torn end. Numbers come in big dot matrix digits, like the board that calls out the next order.
People stop on it because it looks like something real from your counter, and because a receipt is easy to read. Items on the left, numbers on the right, the total at the bottom.
The looks in it
- The receipt: three to six lines on dotted leaders, a highlighter swipe on one, and the TOTAL as the punchline. Add a barcode or print a photo on the slip
- The kitchen rail: two or three order tickets clipped to a steel rail, one marked "rush"
- Now serving: a giant number on a ticket with a torn stub, or on a dark queue board
- The tally: adding machine tape with a few numbers and a big result under a double line
- The stubs: two tickets torn at a perforation for this or that, before and after, or a strip of raffle tickets
- The roll: a carousel where one slip runs across every page, an item a page, with the total and the button at the end
What people make with it
- "Receipt of the week": what the studio did, the classes taught, the total of new members
- Today's specials on the kitchen rail
- A thousandth order, a hundredth job or a tenth year as a queue number
- Open slots or spots left in a class as "now serving"
- A gift card giveaway on raffle tickets
- A creator's month in numbers, or what a coaching package includes, as a receipt
Make the total count
The receipt works when the last line is the point. "Classes taught 64, new faces 12, coffee 0, TOTAL: one good week" lands better than five numbers of the same weight. Put the joke or the news in the total and keep the lines above it short.
Your colors
Every slip is printed in one ink, your text color, on a warm paper. Your accent is the stamp: a highlighter swipe, a round stamp or a circled number, used once. Press Colors and then Your brand to use your colors. Some templates sit on a near black counter, for a night look.
FAQ
Can I change the number of lines on a receipt?
The receipts come with three to six lines, so pick one with the number you need. Every line is text you can change, and fewer lines leave the type bigger on a phone.
Do I need a photo?
No. Most of these are words and numbers only. The receipt can print a photo on the slip, in the same ink as the text.
Is it only for food places?
No. Studios, salons, trades, shops, coaches and creators all have numbers to show. Each has its own templates here.
