Which Receipt Paper Is Best for Restaurants and Cafés? A Guide to Oil and Water Resistance

In a bustling restaurant or café environment, spills and splashes are bound to happen. From coffee stains to greasy fingers, your printed receipts can easily get smudged, torn, or rendered unreadable. That’s why choosing the right type of receipt paper matters—not just for presentation, but also for long-term business reliability and customer satisfaction.

Why Thermal Paper Is the Go-To Choice

Thermal paper is widely used in the food service industry because it’s fast, clean, and doesn’t require ink cartridges. The key is selecting the right size and quality to suit your business needs.

✅ Key Advantages of Thermal Paper for Foodservice:

  • Quick and quiet printing
  • Smudge-free results
  • Easy to handle and reload
  • Cost-effective for high-volume use

  • Stock various sizes to fit your printers (check diameter and core size).
