What is the proper way to ensure that all guests receive a receipt?

The correct approach to ensuring that all guests receive a receipt is to tape the receipt to the bag or cup. This method guarantees that the receipt remains securely connected to the purchase and minimizes the chances of it getting lost or forgotten. When customers leave with their order, having the receipt attached helps to provide them with proof of their transaction without requiring additional action on their part.

Attaching it to the bag or cup also aligns with good customer service practices, as it allows for instant access to the receipt, should they need to refer to it for any reason, such as tracking expenses or resolving potential issues with their order.

While handing the receipt directly to the guest can ensure that they receive it, this method relies on the guest being present and attentive during the transaction, which may not always happen. Leaving the receipt on the counter poses a risk of it being overlooked or taken by someone else. Sending it via email is a modern approach but may not suit every guest’s preference or situation, especially if they are in a hurry or have not provided an email address. Thus, attaching the receipt to the bag or cup offers the most effective and reliable means of ensuring that every guest has their receipt.
